Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Quorn Parish Council is procuring playground construction works for a children’s play tower with an integrated slide and a fall-mitigation area. The requirement is classified as playground equipment and concerns the supply and installation of a completed play facility rather than general grounds maintenance or routine equipment supply. Delivery and works are associated with Quorn, at postcode LE12 8BL. The council is the buying organisation and is based in Loughborough. This opportunity is therefore relevant to playground manufacturers, specialist play-area contractors, equipment suppliers with installation capability, and construction businesses able to deliver safety-focused outdoor recreational facilities for children. The stated procurement category is works, and the opportunity is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The procurement has reached tender: Quorn Parish Council invited written offers through an open procedure described as above threshold. Tenders were due by 7 October 2026 at 9.00am, with submissions required in writing to the address specified in the tender. The contract is scheduled to run from 2 November 2026 to 11 November 2026. Its stated value is £42,000. The requirement covers one playtower project, including the slide and fall-mitigation area. Businesses considering a bid should allow for the short delivery period between contract commencement and completion and ensure their written tender addresses the complete playground works requirement. The procurement is categorised as works rather than services or goods alone.

This opportunity suits small and medium-sized businesses that can design, supply and install children’s playground equipment as a complete project. Relevant suppliers are likely to have practical experience with play towers, slides, impact-attenuating or fall-mitigation surfaces, site installation and the delivery of finished outdoor play areas. The requirement is focused and clearly defined, making it potentially suitable for specialist playground contractors, manufacturers with an installation team, or construction firms partnering with equipment specialists. Competitors should be able to coordinate equipment supply, ground or surfacing works and installation within the specified project period. The strongest fit is a business experienced in safety-conscious playground construction and able to submit a formal written tender.
