## Summary

The Council of the City of Wakefield commissioned an upgrade to the existing Church Street play area. The works cover installing new, challenging and inclusive playground equipment, together with new safety surfacing, bins and benches. The requirement combines playground installation with surfacing works and associated site amenities. Delivery is in Wakefield, at the Church Street play area. The council is the buyer, and the selected contractor is HAGS-SMP Limited. The work is a single package rather than a set of separately described lots, and is intended to improve the existing play provision through replacement or upgraded equipment and site infrastructure.

The procurement is complete: HAGS-SMP Limited was selected and the contract is active and signed. The award was made on 23 September 2026. The contract runs from 23 to 24 September 2026. Its value is £94,680 excluding VAT (£113,616 including VAT). The process was a below-threshold procurement; the specific procedure is not described beyond that. The tender comprised one lot, covering the play area upgrade. No award criteria or eligibility requirements are stated in the available process details, so the basis on which bids were assessed cannot be described further.

This award shows that Wakefield buys combined play-area improvement works, bringing inclusive and challenging playground equipment together with safety surfacing, bins and benches in a single package. A credible supplier for a similar requirement would need to deliver and install playground equipment while coordinating the associated surfacing and site furnishings. The successful supplier was HAGS-SMP Limited, a large supplier, indicating that the buyer selected a provider able to undertake the package as a whole. Suppliers with relevant playground installation and surface-works experience, and the capacity to manage equipment and ancillary site works together, are best aligned with this requirement. The procurement was handled below the public procurement threshold, giving an indication of the route used for this scale of work.
