The initiative, categorised under "Park and playground equipment," aims to provide resources primarily for under 5s with a focus on inclusivity. This project is being conducted at the tender stage with an open procurement method. Prospective contractors are invited to submit their proposals by the extended deadline of 31st July 2026. The project commencement is scheduled for early September 2026, with the aim for ground to be broken by the 30th, advancing into phase 2 development in 2028. This procurement offers significant business opportunities for contractors specialising in playground equipment supply and installation, particularly those experienced with facilities near marine environments, due to material durability requirements. Companies providing inclusive play solutions, pathways suitable for buggies and wheelchairs, and those with innovative approaches to child-friendly facilities, will find this tender advantageous. Additionally, the project's open procedure allows for a competitive bidding process, providing equal opportunities for specialised small and medium enterprises to engage and contribute to community enhancement, fostering potential future growth and reputation in public sector projects. ## Notice The Wells-next-the-Sea children's playground is on Beach Road beside the Quay. It has been a playground for at least 65 years and has established equipment added to over the years. This has been well maintained and is not going to be replaced. The Council now has PS80,000 to add to the facility. Our focus is provision for under 5s and inclusivity. We have run a survey with our schools and their wish list is 1) Swing Set - two inclusive swings seats and one parent and toddler swing seat 2) An inclusive trampoline 3) An inclusive roundabout 4) A toddler activity house 5) A toddler music activity We also need to include a suitable pathway to the new equipment for buggies and wheelchairs and the correct surfaces under the equipment. Consideration of the fact that this playground is next to the sea needs to influence the choice of materials used to make the equipment. We are looking for a contractor who would supply and install the equipment, make ready and make good the surfaces and pathways, and remove any unwanted materials resulting from necessary groundworks associated with the project. We are hoping to start the project at the beginning of September 2026, with ground broken by the 30th. We would be happy to show any prospective contactor around the site. We are hoping to follow this with a phase 2 playground development in 2028. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/052321-2026 | | Notice type | UK4 - Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 3 Jun 2026 | | Submission deadline | 31 Jul 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 9 Sep 2026 - 31 Dec 2026 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £64,000 | | Lots value | £64,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | WELLS-NEXT-THE-SEA TOWN COUNCIL | | Locality | WELLS-NEXT-THE-SEA, | | Post town | Norwich | | Postcode | NR23 1RF | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH5 Norfolk | | ITL 3 | TLH52 North and West Norfolk | | Local authority | North Norfolk | | Electoral ward | Wells with Holkham | | Westminster constituency | North Norfolk | | 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) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 43 - Machinery for mining, quarrying, construction equipment ### Codes - 43325000 - Park and playground equipment ## Release History - 3 Jun 2026 at 11:56 - TenderUpdate - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/052321-2026 - 20 May 2026 at 10:55 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/046275-2026 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/052321-2026 3rd June 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/046275-2026 20th May 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents - https://www.wellstc.norfolkparishes.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
