This public authority, classified as a sub-central government entity, completed the procurement under an open competition method below the financial threshold as defined by UK legislation. The tender, which entailed the installation of new children's playground equipment and surfacing, reached the award stage on 18 December 2025, when the contract was signed. The awarded project, with a contract period from 2 January 2026 to 30 April 2026, was classified primarily under construction and recreational services categories, and the contract value was set to £132,000 excluding VAT. This scheme presents significant business growth opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in construction, landscaping, or the supply of playground and recreational equipment. Given the open competition nature of the procurement method, the tender was accessible to various suppliers, and the completion of this project would enhance the profile and experience portfolio of the awarded supplier, Proludic Limited. Ideal bidders for similar future opportunities would be those with capabilities in design, materials supply, and efficient project management, thereby supporting community projects that contribute to local infrastructure improvements and community engagement in the UK. ## Notice Installation of a refurbished children's Playground equipment and surfacing on the Gardiner recreation field in Goring on Thames ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/084625-2025 | | Notice type | UK7 - Contract Details Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Below threshold - open competition | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 18 Dec 2025 | | Submission deadline | 19 Sep 2025 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 28 Nov 2025 | | Contract period | 2 Jan 2026 - 30 Apr 2026 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £140,000 | | Lots value | £140,000 | | Awards value | £140,000 | | Contracts value | £132,000 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | GORING ON THAMES PARISH COUNCIL | | Locality | GORING | | Post town | Reading | | Postcode | RG8 9HB | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ1 Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire | | ITL 3 | TLJ14 Oxfordshire CC | | Local authority | South Oxfordshire | | Electoral ward | Goring | | Westminster constituency | Henley and Thame | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLE Yorkshire and The Humber, TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLI London, TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | PROLUDIC | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 37 - Musical instruments, sport goods, games, toys, handicraft, art materials and accessories - 44 - Construction structures and materials; auxiliary products to construction (except electric apparatus) - 45 - Construction work - 51 - Installation services (except software) - 92 - Recreational, cultural and sporting services ### Codes - 37000000 - Musical instruments, sport goods, games, toys, handicraft, art materials and accessories - 44000000 - Construction structures and materials; auxiliary products to construction (except electric apparatus) - 45000000 - Construction work - 51000000 - Installation services (except software) - 92000000 - Recreational, cultural and sporting services ## Release History - 18 Dec 2025 at 17:03 - Award - UK7 - Contract Details Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/084625-2025 - 28 Nov 2025 at 14:40 - Award - UK6 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/078152-2025 - 21 Aug 2025 at 17:43 - TenderUpdate - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/050664-2025 - 28 Jul 2025 at 08:46 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/043317-2025 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/084625-2025 18th December 2025 - Contract details notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/078152-2025 28th November 2025 - Contract award notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/050664-2025 21st August 2025 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/043317-2025 28th July 2025 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/A-3491 Going-on-Thames Gardiner Playground Invitation to Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/A-3492 - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/A-4505 1) Correction of error in Appendix 1 (specified time frame) to confirm that project delivery is hoped to be achieved in early 2026, and 2) Minor change on page 10 to say that only 1 x A1 Design Board is required (to reduce cost to suppliers). ## Notice URLs - http://www.proludic.co.uk - https://www.goringparishcouncil.gov.uk - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
