## Summary

The procurement process, initiated by Wisborough Green Parish Council, involves the replacement of the playground safety surface located on the Village Green in Wisborough Green, Billingshurst, UK. Classified under site preparation and recreational services, this procurement reached the award stage on 1st June 2026. The open competition procurement method was employed for this below-threshold contract. The awarded contract was signed on 11th May 2026, with the work scheduled to start on 15th June 2026 and conclude by 6th July 2026, costing a gross amount of GBP 54,535.20.

This tender creates significant opportunities for businesses specialising in construction and surface installation, particularly those experienced in playground renovations. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) involved in site preparation and recreational services would be well-suited to compete, especially those capable of meeting specific material requirements and installation standards within set timeframes. The project presents a chance to demonstrate skill in providing durable, safe playground surfaces, a niche but vital market within the public works sector.

## Notice

The playground is located on the Village Green in the village centre. (///reckoned.wacky.ears). The current wetpour is now failing in several areas, and the sub-base is failing in several areas causing unevenness. The current surface was replaced as part of a playground restoration project in 2012. Another area of the playground is now surfaced with bonded rubber woodchip effect and this has worked well on the heavy clay soil that is susceptible to movement. This is our preferred surface material.
