In plain English
Canterbury City Council wants one contractor to refurbish three public playgrounds in Herne Bay between March 2027 and March 2028, with a total budget of £225,000. You will be judged on your tender response for the first playground (Herne Bay Seafront, £120,000), and if you win, you must also deliver the other two schemes (Collins Road £60,000 and Honeysuckle Way £45,000) on fixed dates.
What the buyer wants
• Design and build refurbishment of three public playgrounds to meet Canterbury City Council specifications • Deliver Herne Bay Seafront playground by June 2027, and Collins Road and Honeysuckle Way playgrounds between July 2027 and March 2028 • Attend a mandatory accompanied site visit (approximately 2 hours) before submitting your tender
Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
Failure to attend the mandatory site visit will automatically disqualify you. Most small businesses will struggle because this is a single fixed-price contract for three large schemes worth up to £225,000 total, with tight delivery deadlines and detailed design requirements that typically favour established contractors with proven playground experience.
How to bid
This is an open tender: any eligible business can respond directly to the buyer by the deadline, with no framework membership needed.
