UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Mawnan Parish Council is procuring works for the initial stage of the Mawnan Park Recreational Play Project. The requirement covers improvements to the community playground at Mawnan Park, formerly Mawnan Junior Playing Field, on Carwinion Road beside Mawnan Bowling Club, Mawnan Smith. The existing facilities include a roundabout, two swings, a trim trail and a climbing fort; the project includes replacing the removed zip wire and delivering part of the wider Mawnan Park Masterplan. This is a major investment in the playground, while later phases may add further play equipment, accessible paths and seating. The work is classified as construction of leisure facilities and playground equipment, including swings, climbing apparatus, merry-go-rounds and slides. Mawnan Parish Council is the buying organisation.

The procurement has reached tender: the council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. It comprises one lot, with a contract period from 1 December 2026 to 1 December 2027. The estimated value is £100,000 excluding VAT, or £120,000 including VAT. Questions had to be submitted by 9 October 2026 at 23:59, and tenders were due by 23 October 2026 at 16:00. Electronic submission is allowed. Offers are evaluated on design at 60%, technical quality at 30% and presentation at 10%. The tender requires contractors to review the scope of works, masterplan, topographical survey, draft building agreement and other tender documents before responding. The procurement contact is Sports and Play Consulting Limited, acting as consultant to the council.

This opportunity suits small and medium-sized contractors specialising in playground construction, recreational facilities and installation of outdoor play equipment. Relevant suppliers will need to interpret a masterplan and topographical survey, develop a strong design response, meet the technical requirements and present their proposal clearly, because design carries the greatest evaluation weighting. Experience delivering comparable playground or leisure-facility works would be directly relevant, alongside the ability to provide warranty and reference information. Contractors should be able to manage a community-site construction project, coordinate the replacement zip wire and other play equipment, and work to the requirements of a building agreement. The requirement is suited to businesses with practical installation capacity, design capability and evidence of reliable previous delivery.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Mawnan Park Recreational Play Project

Notice Description

Mawnan Park, formerly known as Mawnan Junior Playing Field, is a community recreation space on Carwinion Road, next to Mawnan Bowling Club. The park can be reached from Carwinion Road and by footpaths from Shute Hill and Grove Hill. Its current play equipment includes a roundabout, two swings, a trim trail and a climbing fort. In January of 2026, the old zip wire was removed following safety inspections because it had reached the end of its usable life, with a replacement included in this stage. Mawnan Parish Council has been working diligently with the community to raise funds towards significant improvements at the site, with a confirmed budget to implement this initial phase. This is a significant component of the overall objective, detailed in the Mawnan Park Masterplan. The aim is to deliver the entirety of proposed plan within this document over several stages, which will be determined by achieving the required funding targets. This will be the first major investment in the playground for around 25 years and will begin the next chapter in the park's development. It will not deliver the full masterplan, so fundraising will continue for later phases, including further play equipment, accessible paths and seating. The Council is seeking a suitably qualified contractor to consider the tender documents and provide a tender response for this initial stage by the due date. Details of the requirements are set out in Appendix A. Please review all documentation and advise your interest to the Procurement Contact asap.
