This contract, classified under the CPV code 37535200 for playground equipment, was awarded following an open procurement method. The project is located in Minchinhampton, England, and focuses on designing and installing new playground facilities primarily for children aged 2 to 8 years. The tender stage concluded with the end of the tender period on 15 November 2024, and the contract is set to span from 25 November 2024 to 25 November 2025. The award status became active after the contract was officially awarded on 26 November 2024, with a project budget of £50,000 GBP. This redevelopment project presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the playground equipment industry, particularly those with experience in low-maintenance solutions, to demonstrate their expertise and secure contracts with local councils. It is especially suited to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can meet the specific requirements of designing child-friendly, durable playgrounds. Such projects provide beneficial exposure and potential partnerships, which could be instrumental in expanding market reach within the community development and children's recreational facilities sectors. ## Notice Minchinhampton Parish Council is seeking a suitably qualified and experienced contractor to design and install new playground equipment, surfacing and associated works at The Bulwarks Play Area. The site is a local playground for the immediate community, that caters primarily for younger children, up to the age of 8 years. This is complimented by the Multi Use Games Area (MUGA) adjacent to the site, for older children and young adults. With a fully funded budget, this is a project which recently follows the investment to upgrade Horsfall Play Area on the western side of Minchinhampton. The key objectives are to design a play area that caters specifically for the main age group (2-8 years), practical for carers, and with low maintenance of both surfacing and equipment over the long term. Download and review all documentation, and respond accordingly by the due date and time. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/00b11b9e-5786-4af0-9c89-c242ec23bdf9 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 10 Feb 2026 | | Submission deadline | 15 Nov 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 26 Nov 2024 | | Contract period | 25 Nov 2024 - 25 Nov 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £39,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £50,000 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | MINCHINHAMPTON PARISH COUNCIL | | Locality | STROUD | | Post town | Gloucester | | Postcode | GL6 9JA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK7 Gloucestershire and Wiltshire | | ITL 3 | TLK73 Gloucestershire CC | | Local authority | Stroud | | Electoral ward | Minchinhampton | | Westminster constituency | North Cotswolds | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | WICKSTEED LEISURE | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 37 - Musical instruments, sport goods, games, toys, handicraft, art materials and accessories ### Codes - 37535200 - Playground equipment - 37535210 - Playground swings - 37535220 - Playground climbing apparatus - 37535230 - Playground merry go rounds - 37535240 - Playground slides - 37535250 - Playground see saws - 37535260 - Playground tunnels ## Release History - 10 Feb 2026 at 16:20 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/00b11b9e-5786-4af0-9c89-c242ec23bdf9 - 2 Oct 2024 at 07:04 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ea43adfa-0ea1-4180-8c67-d1f9fcd19e05 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/00b11b9e-5786-4af0-9c89-c242ec23bdf9 10th February 2026 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ea43adfa-0ea1-4180-8c67-d1f9fcd19e05 2nd October 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/a4a0b375-fa22-4d9c-9216-510aa081f4dd Form of Tender - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/dae66396-2222-4bba-9dfd-9c100a9105f0 Warranty and Reference Information - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/67162656-a2c7-4e92-b616-2e75d34c233e Draft Building Agreement - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/9c792142-b27f-460a-a3c7-530a56082fde Main Tender Document - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/a2f78699-dacf-4bfb-9710-679285636753 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
