Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Quorn Parish Council is procuring works to provide a children’s play tower with an attached slide and a fall-mitigation area. The requirement is classified as playground equipment (CPV 37535200) and is intended for delivery in Loughborough, England. The work covers the physical provision and installation of a play facility, including measures to reduce the risk of injury from falls. It is therefore relevant to businesses supplying commercial or community playground equipment, designing play areas, installing play structures, or delivering safety surfacing and related fall-protection works. The buying organisation is Quorn Parish Council, based in Loughborough. The procurement concerns a single play facility rather than a broad, multi-site playground programme.

The procurement has reached tender: Quorn Parish Council invited offers through an open procedure described as above threshold. The deadline for tender submissions was 7 October 2026 at 9:00am. The contract period set by the council runs from 2 November 2026 to 11 November 2026. Its stated value is £42,000 including the published currency, pounds sterling. The opportunity is categorised as works and is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The requirement is presented as one package covering the play tower, slide and fall-mitigation area. Businesses considering the opportunity should assess whether they can submit a compliant offer under the open procedure and deliver the specified playground works during the contract period.

This opportunity suits playground contractors and equipment manufacturers or suppliers able to provide a complete play tower with slide and an appropriate fall-mitigation area. It may also fit businesses specialising in playground installation, safety surfacing or other fall-protection works, either as the main contractor or as part of a delivery team. The council has marked the procurement as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so it is not limited to large national suppliers. Strong candidates will be able to combine suitable equipment supply with practical site installation and safety-focused delivery for a community children’s play facility. Firms should have the operational capacity to manage a compact works package covering the play structure and its associated safety area.
