The project is tailored to cater to children aged 8 to 14 and is set in the industry category of construction and playground equipment. Presently in the tender stage, the procurement process is open and below the threshold, allowing wide participation. Key deadlines include the submission of tenders by 14 November 2025, with an opportunity for enquiries closing on 1 November 2025. The contract period is scheduled to commence on 1 January 2026 and conclude on 31 December 2027, with a project value estimated at £126,000. This tender represents a significant growth opportunity for businesses specialising in playground equipment and construction, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) as participation is reserved for SMEs and VCSEs collaborating across the UK regions. The open procurement method invites competitive tenders, providing businesses an opportunity to showcase innovative designs while complying with project criteria focused on design, layout, technical aspects, and presentation. Enterprises that excel in delivering engaging and durable play solutions aimed at older children and have experience in similar municipal projects will find this tender well-suited to their capabilities. The focus on inclusive play features also extends opportunities to providers with expertise in accessibility-focused designs. ## Notice Ash Parish Council, who have secured funding that has been allocated to enhance the play facilities at the Recreation Ground, are seeking a suitably qualified contractor to design and build a new facility. There is an existing play area on site which will remain, largely aimed at younger children (2- 8-year-olds) which also includes some 'inclusive' items such as a wheelchair roundabout. With consideration of the budget and space available, the objective is to provide play experiences which will be aimed at 8 - 14 years old children to complement the existing area. Ensuring the design will be practical, challenging and ultimately encouraging users to return while also utilizing or moving between both 'zones'. Please download all documents, carefully review the content and submit the tender response by the due date and time. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/056544-2025 | | Notice type | UK4 - Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Below threshold - open competition | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 15 Sep 2025 | | Submission deadline | 14 Nov 2025 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Jan 2026 - 1 Jan 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £105,000 | | Lots value | £105,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | ASH PARISH COUNCIL | | Locality | ASH | | Post town | Canterbury | | Postcode | CT3 2BG | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ4 Kent | | ITL 3 | TLJ44 East Kent | | Local authority | Dover | | Electoral ward | Little Stour & Ashstone | | Westminster constituency | Herne Bay and Sandwich | | 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) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 37 - Musical instruments, sport goods, games, toys, handicraft, art materials and accessories - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 37535100 - Swings - 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 - 37535270 - Playground sandboxes - 37535280 - Playground bleachers - 37535290 - Wall and rope climbing equipment - 37535291 - Wall climbing equipment - 37535292 - Rope climbing equipment - 45212000 - Construction work for buildings relating to leisure, sports, culture, lodging and restaurants ## Release History - 15 Sep 2025 at 11:43 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/056544-2025 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/056544-2025 15th September 2025 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/A-5203 Scope of Works - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/A-5204 Form of Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/A-5205 Warranty and Reference Information - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/A-5206 Draft Building Agreement - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/A-5207 Main Tender Document ## Notice URLs - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
