Playground Refurbishment Supplier - Herne Bay (3 Schemes)

Canterbury City Council is seeking a single qualified supplier to design and deliver three playground refurbishment schemes totaling £225,000. The headline scheme at Herne Bay Seafront (£120,000) will be evaluated using a scoring matrix to select the winning contractor; the other two schemes (Collins Road £60,000 and Honeysuckle Way £45,000) will be awarded as part of the contract with design details provided later in 2026. All three playgrounds must be completed between March 2027 and March 2028, with Herne Bay delivered by June 2027 and the remaining two by March 2028. Tenderers must demonstrate their capacity to manage delivery across all three sites within the specified timelines. Attendance at a mandatory accompanied site visit (approximately 2 hours) is required; failure to attend will result in disqualification. Pre-tender public consultation has already been completed. To participate, suppliers must register on the Kent Business Portal, express interest in the opportunity, and submit completed tender documents electronically by 12:00 on Friday 13 November 2026. All questions should be directed through the portal's messaging system.
