Summary of the contracting process

The Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council is inviting tenders for the installation of play equipment at Tiverton Drive and Chaucer Drive within the Borough of Nuneaton, UK. The project aims to enhance local parks with inclusive and durable play equipment under the main procurement category of works. The tender process is currently in the update stage, following an open procurement method with a below-threshold open competition. Important deadlines include the enquiry period ending on 1 July 2026 and the submission deadline on 14 July 2026.
