## Summary

Gedling Borough Council is procuring works to refurbish the children’s play area at Onchan Park. The requirement covers the design, supply, installation and refurbishment of playground facilities, including associated playground landscaping works. The supplier will be responsible for delivering the complete refurbishment rather than providing design services or equipment alone. This is a public-sector construction and playground improvement opportunity for businesses able to manage the process from design through to installation. The work is to be delivered at Onchan Park within Gedling Borough Council’s area, serving the local children’s play provision. It may suit playground manufacturers, specialist installers, landscape contractors or construction businesses offering a combined design-and-build service.

The procurement has reached tender: Gedling Borough Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. There is one lot, with an estimated value of £100,000 excluding VAT and £125,000 including VAT. The contract period is from 1 December 2026 to 31 May 2027. Enquiries had to be submitted by 8 September 2026 at 12:00, and tender responses by 24 September 2026 at 12:00. Electronic submission was allowed. Offers are evaluated on quality at 70% and price at 30%, so the proposed technical solution, design, installation approach and delivery arrangements carry more weight than cost. The lot is identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This opportunity suits suppliers with practical experience in children’s playground design, manufacture, installation and refurbishment, particularly businesses able to coordinate several disciplines under one contract. Strong candidates are likely to demonstrate safe and durable play-area solutions, competent installation teams, landscaping capability and effective project management from design approval through completion. The requirement is also suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, making it relevant beyond large construction contractors. Because quality accounts for most of the evaluation, suppliers can compete through the strength of their proposed design, understanding of the site, workmanship, safety arrangements, programme and approach to minimising disruption. Businesses with completed playground or public-space refurbishment projects should find the scope closely aligned with their experience.
