## Summary

Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council is procuring improvement works for Lumb Lane Play Area in Greater Manchester. The work is to install specified playground equipment and associated safety surfacing, with construction work forming part of the requirement. This is a practical, site-based project for suppliers working in play-area improvement, playground installation or related construction. The council is buying the works for the play area, rather than seeking a general supply of equipment alone: installation and the associated safer surface are included in the stated scope. The project is identified as Lumb Lane Play Area, and delivery is in Greater Manchester.

The council invited offers through an open competition under a below-threshold procedure. The opportunity is a single lot. The enquiry deadline was 29 October 2026 at 12:00 UTC, and the bid submission deadline was 5 November 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The contract period is scheduled to run from 1 March 2027 to 29 February 2028. The estimated value is £98,000 excluding VAT (£117,600 including VAT). Evaluation gives 55% to the commercial offer and 45% to quality, including social value. Although openly advertised, participation is restricted to organisations based in Greater Manchester. Participation is reserved for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This requirement is suited to a small or medium-sized supplier, or a voluntary, community or social enterprise, that is based in Greater Manchester. Organisations must be able to meet the stated local eligibility restriction to compete. The work calls for delivery capability relevant to play-area improvement, including installing specified play equipment and providing associated safer surfacing. The evaluation gives nearly half of the available weighting to quality, including social value, so suppliers should be prepared to address those elements in their offer as well as their commercial proposal. The contract covers a defined play-area project, rather than a general, multi-site programme.
