What is being bought

Kennington Parish Council is proposing to replace its playground equipment with the installation of new equipment including appropriate surfacing for younger children. The play area is intended to be used by children with ages ranging from toddler to mid-teens. Experienced play area installers are invited to tender for the contract. It is anticipated that construction work will be carried out in Summer 2025 with the playground ready for use September 30th 2025 at the latest. An earlier construction programme can be agreed with the Parish Council if preferred by the contractor and subject to successful grant funding. Please refer to the 'site information' section of this tender for the background information to the site. A map of the location is attached on page 14. The children's play area is located in a fenced off section within the playing field area. All prices are to be net, excluding VAT. Companies must be registered with the API (Association of Play Industries) to tender for this contract. Please supply copies of current certificate for accreditations for the above membership plus details of any other relevant accreditations. A timescale for commencing this project will be agreed between Kennington Parish Council and the chosen Contractor. Tenderers are required to submit a fixed price lump sum tender on the Form of Tender provided with this document. Tenders should be returned in a sealed envelope bearing no company identification and marked TENDER FOR FOREST SIDE PLAY AREA to: The Parish Clerk, Kennington Parish Council, 20 Kennington Road, Kennington, Oxford, OX1 5NZ by 13:00 hours on 30th May 2025 Alternatively, tenders can be submitted by email to clerk@kennington-pc.gov.uk with the subject line TENDER FOR FOREST SIDE PLAY AREA by the same date.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 37. The category anchor is Playground equipment (37535200); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
