UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leeds City Council, a public authority classified under sub-central government, is inviting open competition tenders for the "Herd Farm High Rope Installation" project. This procurement, categorised under the playground equipment industry, involves replacing the existing high ropes structure with a new linear course, including high ropes and crate stack activities in Leeds, UK. The process is in the tender stage, with key deadlines including the submission deadline set for 19 June 2026, at noon. The total estimated value of the contract is £108,000 gross, with a focus on under-threshold open competition procurement methods. The contract period is from 6 July 2026 to 30 September 2026.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for SMEs specialising in construction and installation of recreational structures and playground equipment, as it is specifically marked to be suitable for small and medium enterprises. The evaluation criteria emphasise an equal split between price and quality, requiring a minimum 80% quality threshold, which allows innovative and high-quality proposals to be competitive. Businesses that can provide a robust belay system, and have experience in high ropes or similar installations, are well-positioned to leverage this opportunity to grow their portfolio and establish a working relationship with a key municipal body.
