The procurement process for the design and installation of High and Low Rope Courses at Pembrey County Park was managed by Carmarthenshire County Council, a public authority operating under Welsh devolved regulations. The procurement, classified under the industry category for sports goods and construction work related to leisure, was conducted via an open competition method below the threshold. The location for the project is Pembrey Country Park, UKL14, United Kingdom. Key milestones include the tender announcement on 11th August 2025, submission deadline by 8th September 2025, and the contract signing on 29th September 2025. The contract, valued at £50,000 net, commenced on 30th September 2025 and continues until 31st March 2029.

This tender presented a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in sports infrastructure and outdoor recreational facilities.
