## Summary

Hexham Town Council, a sub-central government public authority, sought proposals for the refurbishment of Sele Play Park, located in Hexham, Northumberland. The procurement process involved designing and building a play area incorporating new playground equipment, surfacing, and landscaping suitable for users ranging from toddlers to mid-teens. The contract was awarded to KOMPAN SCOTLAND LTD with an anticipated construction period from 31 March 2026 to 1 June 2026. The tender adopted an open procedure within the goods category, with the decision made on 12 January 2026 following the submission assessment. The project aligns with the latest legal framework as stipulated by the UK Public General Acts, and involves site work within a fenced delineated area. Proposals needed to exclude VAT and ideally required participants to be registered with the Association of Play Industries.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in playground installations, landscaping, and construction. With a gross value of £252,000, the project allows for expansion within the expanding leisure and recreational facilities market. It particularly suits small to medium enterprises (SMEs) with experience in play equipment and surfacing installations, with all bids at the final stage coming from SMEs, indicating a substantial interest and opportunity for growth. The scope for increasing the complexity and range of the installation through additional equipment may further enhance business opportunities should grants or additional funding become available. The requirement for professional accreditations and experience implies that businesses with established credentials in the industry are well-positioned to benefit from collaborations within the scope of this tender.
