## Summary

Somerset Council recently completed a public procurement process for the "Hindhayes SEN Base - External Works" project, which focuses on creating a new playground for a Special Educational Needs Base. This project includes new play equipment, fencing, and surfacing. The procurement was managed under a direct award method, below the threshold, and without competition. Situated in Taunton, Somerset, this contract attracted particular interest from local suppliers. The contract was awarded to Somerset Landscapes Limited, beginning on 23rd July 2026, and concluding by 30th September 2026. The main procurement category is goods, specifically park and playground equipment, priced at £37,968, exclusive of VAT.

This tender presents significant opportunities for local businesses that specialise in infrastructure and landscape development, particularly those capable of providing specialised equipment and construction services for educational facilities. Companies with similar capabilities as Somerset Landscapes Limited—technical expertise in playground and recreational infrastructure—would be well-placed to engage in similar future procurement opportunities. Such contracts could provide sustained business growth for small and medium-sized enterprises involved in public sector projects.
