This tender, categorised under 'works', includes the replacement and installation of playground equipment with significant emphasis on price, availability of spares, and ease of maintenance. The process is currently in the tender stage, with submissions being accepted from 8th April 2026 and closing on 8th May 2026. Key decision dates include shortlisting on the 3rd of June 2026 and final decisions by the council on the 1st of July 2026. The project budget is set at up to £60,000, with completion expected by August 2026, and spare parts must be readily available in the UK. This open below-threshold competition can provide substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in playground equipment and park renovations. Companies that manufacture or supply roundabouts, swings, and playground components, particularly those able to meet the requirements for low maintenance and quick spare parts availability, will find this tender appealing. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), especially those that are value-driven with competitive pricing strategies, could leverage this opportunity for growth, particularly due to the reserved participation clause favouring such enterprises. The emphasis on the supply of durable and accessible equipment makes it suitable for businesses that focus on high-quality, long-lasting outdoor materials. ## Notice Total budget: Up to PS60k Opening: 8th April 2026 Closing: 8th May 2026 Shortlisting at Open Spaces Committee: 3rd June 2026 Decision at Full Council: 1st July 2026 Tender submission: Please submit all tenders via email to Callam.Greenwood@strattonstmargaret.gov.uk Completion deadline: Project completion August 2026.
