UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Williton Parish Council, located in Somerset, UK, has initiated a tender process for the procurement of children's play equipment. The project, titled "Children's Play Equipment," seeks to acquire items for children up to 12 years old, including challenging play equipment and an inclusive swing, all to be constructed from metal or recycled plastic, with delivery and installation included. The procurement is in the tender stage, using an open competition method below the financial threshold, with submissions to be made via email or post. Key dates include the tender closing date on 22 February 2026, and the enquiry period ending on 15 February 2026. Contract execution is planned between 1 March 2026 and 2 April 2026. The main industry category is goods, focusing on park and playground equipment, and the project will be delivered across multiple regions in the UK, predominantly in the South and South West.

This procurement opportunity presents significant growth potential for businesses specialising in manufacturing, delivering, and installing playground and park equipment. Companies with proven capabilities in the design and installation of play areas, particularly those experienced with safety standards for children's equipment, would be well-suited to compete. The council is seeking value for money and play value, and the final selection will be based on environmental and planning considerations, suggesting a broader focus beyond just cost. This tender could appeal to businesses looking to expand their portfolio in public sector contracts or those aiming to showcase innovative equipment solutions within public play spaces.
