## Summary

Bristol City Council has completed the procurement process for the project titled "Improve 5 Play Areas - 115_25", focusing on the supply and installation of children's play equipment across five sites in the city of Bristol. This procurement falls under the 'works' industry category and forms part of the public authority's sub-central government initiatives. The award was made on 21st January 2026 to DRAGON PLAY & SPORTS LTD, a supplier company based in the UK. The contract, worth £368,944.00, is set to begin on 1st February 2026 and conclude by 31st March 2026. The procurement method used was a limited competition approach, intended for contracts below the threshold. A significant milestone, the contract signature, is due by 29th January 2026.

This tender provides considerable opportunities for businesses specialising in playground construction and equipment installation. With the emphasis on improving local play areas, businesses capable of delivering innovative and high-quality playground solutions will find substantial growth opportunities. Given the procurement was awarded to a small to medium-sized enterprise (SME), similar SMEs involved in the construction and recreation sectors, particularly those with a track record of working on public sector projects, would be well-suited to compete for similar future tenders issued by regional councils and authorities across the United Kingdom.
