Summary of the contracting process

Poringland Parish Council is conducting an open procurement for the design, supply, and installation of a play area at Mulberry Green, Poringland. The project, which is part of the public authority's sub-central government activities, focuses on providing inclusive and sustainable play facilities for children aged 5 to 15. The procurement process is currently in the tender stage and aims to combine two existing playground areas into a single, continuous space. Interested businesses must submit their proposals by 12th August 2026, with any enquiries to be made by 7th August 2026. The total contract value is £180,000, with electronic submissions not allowed, requiring direct mailing instead. The project is based in the UKH17 region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in park and playground equipment, as well as those focusing on inclusivity and sustainable designs. Firms with expertise in creating aesthetically pleasing and engaging play environments, especially those prioritising accessibility for children with disabilities, would be well-suited to compete for this contract. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to apply, provided they meet the criteria for quality, price, and adherence to the project specifications. The contract period starts on 24th September 2026 and ends on 18th December 2026, offering participating businesses an opportunity to showcase their capabilities and potentially secure future projects in the community development sector.
