The procurement process was conducted using an open procedure, categorized under construction work for leisure facilities, and was completed with an award date of 3rd June 2026. The contract, valued at £199,390.42 excluding taxes, was awarded to HAGS-SMP LIMITED. The contract is set to commence on 1st July 2026 and end on 31st March 2027, with Fleet Town Council's vision being to transform the locale into a safe, engaging, and accessible space for children and their families. This procurement process offers substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for SMEs involved in playground equipment manufacturing and design. Companies providing innovative play equipment and design solutions that prioritize accessibility and play value for children of various abilities would be well-suited to compete. By participating, businesses have the chance to collaborate in creating a vibrant community hub, potentially strengthening their market presence in the public sector and gaining exposure through community-centric projects. ## Notice Redevelopment of The Views Play Area, located in Fleet, Hampshire. The Council's vision is to transform the site into a high-quality, safe, inclusive, and engaging play environment for children aged under 8 and 8-12 years. The existing play area currently comprises a mix of grass, concrete, and wet pour surfacing, and the redesign should consider how surfacing can be enhanced to improve accessibility, durability, safety, and overall user experience. The new design should maximise the opportunities presented by the park's natural contours to enhance play value, provide appropriate levels of challenge, and create an attractive and usable space for a wide range of abilities. A key objective of this project is to deliver a genuinely accessible and inclusive play space. The Council is seeking proposals that go beyond minimum compliance standards by incorporating accessible play equipment, inclusive play experiences, and thoughtful layout design to ensure children of all abilities can play alongside one another. Consideration should also be given to pathways connecting the upper and lower levels, surfacing transitions, seating, and social spaces to support parents, carers, and guardians with differing mobility needs. The Council intends for The Views Play Area to become a central destination playground and community hub within Fleet town centre, a welcoming and vibrant focal point that encourages families to spend time in the area and supports wider town centre activity. This project will be funded through a Public Works Loan. Shortlisted designs will be subject to public consultation, with the final decision made by the Town Council following consideration of community feedback. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/053507-2026 | | Notice type | UK6 - Contract Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Planning, Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 5 Jun 2026 | | Submission deadline | 11 May 2026 | | Future notice date | 9 Mar 2026 | | Award date | 2 Jun 2026 | | Contract period | 30 Jun 2026 - 31 Mar 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £200,000 | | Lots value | £200,000 | | Awards value | £199,390 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | FLEET TOWN COUNCIL | | Locality | FLEET | | Post town | Guildford | | Postcode | GU51 4BY | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ3 Hampshire and Isle of Wight | | ITL 3 | TLJ37 North Hampshire | | Local authority | Hart | | Electoral ward | Fleet Central | | Westminster constituency | North East Hampshire | | 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 | HAGS-SMP | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45212000 - Construction work for buildings relating to leisure, sports, culture, lodging and restaurants ## Release History - 5 Jun 2026 at 15:22 - Award - UK6 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/053507-2026 - 10 Apr 2026 at 09:29 - TenderUpdate - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/032693-2026 - 31 Mar 2026 at 13:35 - TenderUpdate - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/029769-2026 - 19 Mar 2026 at 17:12 - TenderUpdate - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/025466-2026 - 5 Mar 2026 at 12:07 - TenderUpdate - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/019868-2026 - 5 Mar 2026 at 11:50 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/019854-2026 - 19 Feb 2026 at 12:16 - Planning - UK3 - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/015196-2026 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/053507-2026 5th June 2026 - Contract award notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/032693-2026 10th April 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/029769-2026 31st March 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/025466-2026 19th March 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/019868-2026 5th March 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/019854-2026 5th March 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/015196-2026 19th February 2026 - Planned procurement notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/A-12892 Tender Brief - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/A-12893 Pre Qualification Questionnaire - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/A-12894 Views Play Area Tender Evaluation Scoring Criteria - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/A-12896 - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/A-13637 Clarification questions 12/03/26 (uploaded now site issue fixed) - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/A-14195 updated clarification questions 31/3/26 - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/A-14580 Clarification questions 10/4/26 ## Notice URLs - http://www.fleet-tc.gov.uk - http://www.hags.co.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.
