The requirement covers catalogue playground equipment, complete playground projects, playground markings, benches and planters, safety surfacing, and park signage. It combines goods supply with installation, project delivery and, where relevant, repair and maintenance services. The framework is divided into six lots, allowing businesses to focus on one or more specialist areas. The work is intended for council parks and playgrounds, including the supply of individual equipment items and the delivery of larger playground schemes. Relevant suppliers include manufacturers, distributors, installers, playground designers and contractors, surfacing specialists, marking providers, furniture suppliers and signage businesses. The buyer invited offers through a one-stage open tender procedure. The deadline for enquiries is 8 October 2026 at 11:00, and the tender submission deadline is 16 October 2026 at 11:00. The intended contract period is 1 March 2027 to 28 February 2031, with award decisions scheduled by 19 January 2027. The estimated framework value is up to £800,000 per annum, with an overall estimated value of £3,200,000 excluding VAT, or £3,840,000 including VAT. Lot estimates excluding VAT are £400,000 for catalogue items, £2,400,000 for playground projects, £100,000 for markings, £80,000 for benches and planters, £180,000 for safety surfacing and £40,000 for signage. Quality carries 60% and price 40% in every lot. A 1% retrospective fee applies to invoices under the playground projects lot. The opportunity suits small and medium-sized enterprises as well as established playground and public-realm contractors. Businesses should be able to supply or install the relevant products and demonstrate the technical and economic standing required by the tender documents. The largest opportunity is for suppliers capable of delivering complete playground projects, while the other lots suit focused specialists in equipment, markings, furniture, safety surfacing or signage. The framework provides several routes to future orders: catalogue equipment may be bought by direct call-off; playground projects may be awarded through mini-competitions or rotational direct call-offs; and the remaining lots generally select the lowest-priced available product, with overall quality and price scores deciding between equal prices. Suppliers must complete all required submission documents, as incomplete bids are eliminated. ## Notice Hull City Council (The Authority) is seeking tenders from interested organisations for the Outdoor Playground Equipment Framework.
