## Summary

Portsmouth City Council commissioned works to refurbish the playground at Teignmouth Road. The requirement covers playground refurbishment, including repair and maintenance of playground equipment. This is a public-sector works contract delivered in Portsmouth, serving the council’s local playground facilities. The scope is described as being in accordance with the tender, so the successful supplier would have been expected to interpret and deliver the detailed refurbishment requirements set out for the site. The buying organisation is Portsmouth City Council, a sub-central public authority. This opportunity is relevant to playground contractors, play equipment manufacturers with installation teams, and specialist maintenance businesses able to carry out refurbishment work in a public-use outdoor environment.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Wicksteed Leisure Limited. The award was active and dated 6 August 2026. One completed lot covered the requirement. The contract was signed on 6 August 2026 and runs from 6 August 2026 to 1 September 2028. Its gross value is £70,000. The procurement was below the applicable threshold, using a below-threshold procedure whose specific method was recorded as unknown. The contract was classified as works, with refurbishment work and playground equipment repair and maintenance forming the stated activity. The recorded buyer is Portsmouth City Council, and the successful supplier is Wicksteed Leisure Limited, an SME based in Kettering.

This award provides a clear example of Portsmouth City Council’s demand for playground refurbishment and associated equipment repair and maintenance. A credible competitor for similar work would need practical experience refurbishing public playgrounds, inspecting and repairing play equipment, managing installation or remedial works, and delivering safely in an outdoor setting used by children and the wider community. Suppliers should be able to interpret a site-specific tender, plan work around an operational public facility, and provide an end-to-end service rather than only supplying individual components. Relevant businesses include specialist playground contractors, manufacturers with refurbishment capability, and maintenance providers able to combine technical equipment knowledge with construction and site-delivery skills. Wicksteed Leisure Limited’s SME status indicates that this type of requirement can suit a focused specialist business.
