## Summary

The procurement process initiated by Stockton on Tees Borough Council involved the construction of the "Norton South Play Area," aimed at developing a play area for children under the age of 8. The contracting authority, located in Stockton on Tees, United Kingdom, targeted a sustainable and robust design with both formal play equipment and natural play features. The procurement stage is marked as "complete," with the tender having been awarded to KOMPAN SCOTLAND LTD. This direct procurement, conducted without competition due to being below the threshold, was valued at £45,000. The contract period spans from 1st October 2025 to 30th November 2025.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the playground equipment and leisure facilities construction industry. With a focus on sustainability and maintenance efficiency, companies specialising in innovative and durable play solutions are likely to thrive. The project, though already awarded, illustrates the types of expertise in demand that could lead to future opportunities. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like KOMPAN SCOTLAND LTD, which succeeded in securing this contract, exemplify how niche expertise and creative product offerings can facilitate business growth in public sector procurements.

## Notice

Stockton Borough Council aims to develop a new play area on land adjacent to the former Norton Comprehensive School site. The play area will cater for pre-schoolchildren, and for children up to an age range of under 8 years old. Formal units of play equipment should, where feasible, be complemented by informal, natural play features. Any play equipment and supporting infrastructure needs to be as robust and as sustainable as possible. Where feasible, a 'maintenance light' approach should be adopted. Value is PS45,000
