## Summary

The Guildford Borough Council has awarded a contract for the Westborough Playground project. The Council conducted a mini-competition via a framework but had to resort to a direct award under exemption due to lack of returns. The contract, valued at £373,160 GBP, involves the removal and replacement of play equipment, landscaping, and planting. The procurement method used was 'Other - Direct Award under Exemption'. The contract period is from 20th November 2023 to 16th February 2024, with the tender period ending on 10th October 2023. The buyer organisation is the Guildford Borough Council located in Guildford, England, in the industry categories of Playground equipment, Construction work, Architectural design services, and Recreational, cultural, and sporting services.

This tender for the Westborough Playground project presents an opportunity for businesses, particularly SMEs, in the construction, playground equipment, and architectural design sectors to engage with Guildford Borough Council. With a contract value of £373,160 GBP, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in this area could benefit from participating in similar future projects. The Council's choice to award the contract under exemption underscores the potential for niche suppliers to offer specialised solutions in public procurement processes, creating avenues for business growth and innovation in the recreational and cultural services industry.
