The requirement is categorised as services and concerns park and playground equipment. The work is for a public outdoor play area and combines the supply and installation of play equipment with the provision of safety surfacing. The council is the buying organisation. The named delivery location is Troon Esplanade, making this relevant to playground contractors, specialist play-area installers, safety-surfacing providers and businesses able to deliver both elements of the requirement. The procurement was run as a mini competition for this specific site-based installation project. This procurement has been awarded following a mini competition. The contract was awarded to Playscapes Scotland Ltd, and the contract is recorded as active. The awarded value is £71,245 GBP. One bid was recorded. The published outcome identifies the requirement as the installation of play area equipment and safety surfacing at Troon Esplanade. The award information does not provide an award date or contract start and end dates. The available outcome records one supplier and one award, rather than separate awards for different lots. This procurement therefore demonstrates a completed competitive route used by South Ayrshire Council to appoint a specialist supplier for a defined playground installation package. For a supplier that did not win, this procurement is a clear indicator that South Ayrshire Council buys combined play-area installation and safety-surfacing services through a mini-competition route. A credible competitor for the same requirement in future would need to source or install park and playground equipment, deliver compliant safety surfacing, and coordinate both parts as one site-based service. The Troon Esplanade project also indicates the value of being able to deliver a complete outdoor play-area package rather than only supplying equipment or surfacing. Businesses with practical installation capacity, relevant playground construction experience and the ability to manage works at a public coastal or town-centre location would be well placed to compete when the requirement returns to market. ## Notice Mini Competition for the Installation of Play Area Equipment and safety surfacing - Troon Esplanade.
