Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Stratton St Margaret Parish Council is seeking competitive quotations for the development of a new play area at Brooks Close Play Park in Swindon, England. This tender process involves installing new playground equipment on a large, flat, and residentially overlooked site. The equipment required includes a basket swing, a junior multi-play unit with a slide, a roundabout, and a defining feature such as a Crocodile or Dragon play structure. The procurement stage is currently active, with a tender period ending on 21 April 2025. The contract period is set from 12 May 2025 to 1 August 2025, and the project has an estimated value between £50,000 and £70,000 GBP.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialised in playground equipment and installations, especially those with experience in providing metal and toddler-friendly equipment. Companies that can supply the requested items and ensure the availability of spare parts in the UK will find this contract advantageous. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to participate, as the nature of the procurement method—limited competitive quotation—favors businesses capable of delivering quality and value within the specified budget.
