Description
Hackney Council Market Engagement: Adventure Playground Services 2026
Calling all local Playwork and Youth Sector providers.
Hackney Council’s Children and Families Service is preparing to re-procure service contracts for 4 of the borough’s Adventure playgrounds. We are committed to maintaining these "sanctuary spaces" as universal, free, and open-access for children aged 6 to 15.
This session is a vital opportunity for local Voluntary and Community Sector (VCS) partners to hear our vision and help shape the future of play in Hackney.
The Opportunity
We are re-procuring site-specific service contracts for the following locations:
Shakespeare Walk Adventure Playground (Stoke Newington)
Evergreen Adventure Playground (Dalston)
Homerton Grove Adventure Playground (Homerton)
Pearson Street Adventure Playground (Hoxton)
These will be tendered as 4 separate, independent contracts on the ProContract e-tendering portal. Bidders may apply for multiple sites if they have the capacity, though each will be evaluated independently.
Event Details
Join our virtual market engagement session to learn more about the service requirements, procurement timelines, and the "STAR" model driving our approach.
Date: July 17, 2026
Time: 11:30AM-12:30PM
Platform: Google Meet (Link to be provided upon registration)
What We Are Looking For
We are seeking providers with experience in the safe management of adventure playgrounds to deliver:
Inclusive Environments: Dedicated support for SEND and neurodivergent youth.
Specialised Training: Delivery of playwork that demonstrates cultural
humility and an awareness of trauma-informed and anti-racist practice.
Youth Leadership: Co-production opportunities where young people design playground assets and activities.
Community Enrichment: Informal learning opportunities
