Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council (RMBC) is awarding a contract to refurbish and replace playground equipment across five sites. Four sites will get complete playground replacements, and one site will receive resurfacing work. The work is being procured through the ESPO Framework Agreement, which means the council is using a pre-approved supplier list rather than running a fully open tender.
Requirements
- Must be registered on ESPO Framework Agreement 115_25 for Outdoor Playground, Fitness & Sports Facilities and Equipment
- Must be able to deliver playground refurbishment and replacement work
- Must comply with all relevant playground safety standards (BS EN 1176 series or equivalent)
- Must have appropriate insurance and health and safety credentials
- Must be able to work on five separate sites in Rotherham
Key Tasks & Deliverables
- Complete playground replacement at Site 1 (equipment removal, new installation, safety testing)
- Complete playground replacement at Site 2 (equipment removal, new installation, safety testing)
- Complete playground replacement at Site 3 (equipment removal, new installation, safety testing)
- Complete playground replacement at Site 4 (equipment removal, new installation, safety testing)
- Resurfacing work at Site 5 (existing playground surface replacement only, no equipment changes)
How to Read This Tender
- 1ESPO Framework means this isn't a fully open tender — only suppliers already approved on ESPO's Outdoor Playground Framework can bid. If you're not on it, you cannot apply. Check the ESPO website to see if you're already registered.
- 2The 'AWARD' in the title means the contract has already been awarded — this is a notice of the decision, not an invitation to bid. If you missed the bidding window, you cannot now submit a proposal.
- 3You'll need to review the full tender documents to find: exact scope of work at each of the five sites, budget allocated, timescales for completion, and specific equipment or materials required.
- 4Look for the contract timeline and site access details — playground work often needs coordination with schools or councils for site access and may have restrictions on when work can happen.
- 5Check whether the council has specified preferred equipment suppliers or brands, or if you have freedom to propose alternatives within safety standards.
Tips for Small Businesses
- If you're not on the ESPO Framework yet but do this type of work, register for future opportunities — ESPO contracts are popular with councils and a good source of work for small businesses.
- For resurfacing work (Site 5), there may be a lower technical bar and cost than full replacements — consider whether you could subcontract to a specialist if you're stronger on equipment than surfaces.
- Playground work is often eligible for social value points if you offer apprenticeships, local employment, or community engagement during the project — highlight these in future bids to RMBC.
