## Summary

Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council has completed the procurement process for the design, supply, and construction of a new children’s playground at the old bus station site under the title "Old Bus Station - Playground." This tender falls under the construction industry category, specifically related to construction work as detailed by CPV classification 45000000. Located in Merthyr Tydfil, UKL15, the project adheres to Welsh devolved regulations. The procurement method was a limited competition below the threshold, overseen by Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council, a sub-central government public authority based in Civic Centre, Merthyr Tydfil CF47 8AN. The procurement stage is now at the award update phase, with a contract slated to begin on 31 March 2026 and conclude on 1 June 2026, following the scheduled future signature date on 12 March 2026.

This procurement offers significant growth opportunities for companies specialising in playground construction and associated civil works, such as groundworks, fencing, and drainage. It is tailored for well-established civil engineering firms capable of meeting stringent standards and regulations, as evidenced by the successful bid from Marton Civil Engineering, a large-scale supplier located in Abercynon. The contract's value exceeds £105,186, offering a lucrative prospect for businesses like Marton Civil Engineering that possess the expertise in handling substantial urban construction projects. Smaller enterprises may find it challenging to compete in such limited competition tenders, highlighting the need for demonstrable capacity in executing complex civil works.
