As part of their Annual Service Delivery Plan, the council is engaging with potential suppliers to explore options and assess market interest. Site visits are scheduled to occur in one-hour blocks between 10 am and 3 pm on 9th July 2026 and 14th July 2026. Interested suppliers can request a time slot via the Kent Business Portal. This opportunity falls under the 'works' industry sector, covering categories such as playground equipment and construction work for sports facilities, and focuses on a site in West Malling, located in the UKJ46 region of the United Kingdom. This tender process presents an excellent opportunity for businesses involved in the design, construction, and servicing of recreational areas and playgrounds. Companies specialising in park and playground equipment, and those adept in landscaping and sports facility construction, may find the Tonbridge Farm skatepark replacement particularly rewarding. Given that the council is seeking market engagement, businesses that can offer innovative solutions or cost-effective strategies would be well-suited to participate and potentially influence the project's delivery approach. Successful engagement could unlock further projects with the local council, bolstering a company's public sector portfolio and facilitating business growth. ## Notice Tonbridge and Malling Borough Council is inviting interested parties to take part in a supplier engagement process regarding the replacement of the existing skatepark at Tonbridge Farm (Longmead).
