## Summary Castledaly Community Playground is procuring the supply, installation, and ancillary ground works for a children’s playground upgrade at the GAA complex in Castledaly, Co. Westmeath. This is an open procedure for a single lot of playground equipment and installation services.

## Scope & Deliverables - Supply and installation of playground equipment (swings, climbing apparatus, merry-go-rounds, slides, etc.). - Execution of ancillary ground works as specified in tender documents. - Coordination, supervision, and administration of the contract, including management of subcontractors.

## Key Requirements - Eligibility criteria are detailed in the Procurement Document. - Tenderers must be "suitably qualified contractors." - Specific professional qualifications or certifications are not explicitly listed in the notice; refer to the tender pack for full selection criteria.

## Commercials & Timeline - Estimated Value: €150,000 (excluding VAT). - Submission Deadline: 11 June 2026 at 17:00 IST. - Contract Duration: 6 months. - Framework/DPS: None.

## How to Bid - Submission Method: Electronic submission via eTenders Ireland is mandatory. - Submission Address: https://www.etenders.gov.ie/epps/cft/viewTenders.do?resourceId=8192862 - Language: English. - Key Documents: Download the Tender Documentation Pack (PDF) and Tender Structure XML from the eTenders link. Review the "Grounds for exclusion" and "Selection criteria" within these documents.

## Bid Considerations - SME Friendly: The notice explicitly states this procurement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. - Value vs. Effort: At €150k, this is a below-threshold national tender, likely involving less administrative burden than EU-wide procedures, but requires strict adherence to the 6-month delivery window. - Scope Complexity: The requirement to manage subcontractors and perform ground works adds operational risk beyond simple equipment supply. - Timeline: The submission window is short (approx. 3 weeks from publication); early download of documents is critical to clarify technical specs.

Open procedure. Any interested supplier may submit a tender. There is no shortlisting stage — all compliant bids received by the deadline are evaluated against the published award criteria. It is the most common route for Irish public contracts and is open to SMEs and new entrants.
