## Summary

The procurement process for the Curdridge Reading Room play area has concluded with an award dated 15 January 2026. The buying organisation, Curdridge Allotment, situated in Southampton, organised this open competition tender to replace an existing play area. The procurement falls under the industry categories of construction work and recreational services, with a focus on designing and installing the new play area. Key dates included the contract period from 15 April to 15 July 2026. The procurement method was an open competition aimed at below-threshold projects, and the final service value was £80,000, awarded to HAGS-SMP LIMITED, a supplier based in Egham.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in the construction, design, and installation of recreational and play facilities, particularly those that are small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as evidenced by all four final stage bids being from SMEs. The open competition method encourages participation from a wide array of companies, suggesting that other businesses in the construction and playground equipment sectors would be well-positioned to engage with similar future opportunities organised by local councils or sub-central government authorities.
