What is being bought

The Council invites suitably qualified playground contractors to submit a tender for the design, supply, installation and commissioning of a refurbished play area at Ousebank Gardens. Due to the nature of the site and the requirements to consider the existing play area layout, surrounding environment and potential opportunities for improvement, a site visit is essential prior to submitting a tender. This project is subject to Newport Pagnell Town Council receiving the necessary funding. The Council wishes to create an attractive, safe, durable and inclusive play area primarily for children aged approximately 2-10 years. Tenderers are encouraged to use their professional expertise to propose the most appropriate equipment and layout to maximise play value within the available budget. The Council is seeking the proposal that delivers the greatest play value, quality and longevity within the available budget, rather than simply the lowest-priced submission. • Total value of tender should not exceed £98,000

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 45. The category anchor is Recreation installation (45212140); 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
Market: CPV division 459,2234 median · 24.8 average (2,113 of 9,223 with a bid count)3.7 average (2,322 of 9,223 with named award suppliers)Not published

“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.
