## Summary

Fermanagh and Omagh District Council is procuring works to upgrade the existing play park at Buchannon Villas in Omagh. The requirement is for full construction of a new play park, including site preparation and removal of existing surfacing, foundations and sub-base materials where agreed with the council representative. The works include forming a new sub-base, groundworks and drainage, supplying and installing play equipment and associated safety surfacing, and providing seating, picnic benches and litter bins if required. Landscaping is also required to improve the site environment, together with perimeter fencing and access gates where specified. This is a construction and civil engineering opportunity focused on leisure facilities and playground equipment.

The procurement reached tender: the council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. It covers one lot, with a gross estimated value of £198,000. Enquiries were due by 22 September 2026 at 12:00, and tender submissions were due by 29 September 2026 at 12:00. Offers could be submitted electronically through the eTendersNI procurement system. The contract period was set from 19 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. The work is evaluated using the criteria set out in the tender documents. The opportunity is below the applicable threshold and is classified as works. The contract is for the single Omagh play-park upgrade rather than a wider programme of parks or playground works.

This requirement suits contractors experienced in constructing or renewing public play areas and small leisure facilities. Relevant capability includes safely preparing and clearing an existing site; carrying out groundworks, sub-base formation and drainage; installing play equipment and safety surfacing; and completing associated landscaping. Suppliers should also be able to provide or coordinate site furniture such as seating, picnic benches and litter bins, and install perimeter fencing and access gates where required. The scope favours a contractor able to manage several linked construction activities as one delivery package, coordinate specialist play-equipment and surfacing work, and complete the surrounding environmental improvements. It may also suit firms that can demonstrate practical experience delivering durable, safe and accessible outdoor recreational sites.
