UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council commissioned repairs to the outdoor high ropes course at Beaumanor Hall. The work is intended to keep the course safe and usable for educational outdoor activities. It is a specialist ropes-course repair requirement, within outdoor sports equipment (CPV 37410000). The named delivery venue is Beaumanor Hall; the procurement records the delivery location as the United Kingdom. The buyer is Leicestershire County Council, based in Leicester. The requirement concerns repair and safety of an existing outdoor activity facility rather than provision of a new course. It may suit contractors experienced in inspecting and repairing high ropes installations used by schools or other educational outdoor programmes.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to HIGH-LOW ROPES COURSE CONSULTING LTD, with the contract active and signed. Leicestershire County Council used a below-threshold limited competition, approaching six companies; three submitted responses. The award date and contract signature date were 14 October 2026. The contract runs from 14 October 2026 to 14 October 2027. Its value is £19,615 excluding VAT (£23,583 including VAT). One lot covered the repairs. The council’s description says the competing quotations were £23,800 excluding VAT from Inside Out and £17,310 excluding VAT from Technical Outdoor Solutions; the latter quotation required staged advance and progress payments. The award record identifies HIGH-LOW ROPES COURSE CONSULTING LTD as the selected supplier.

For future requirements of this kind, a credible supplier would need practical capability in repairing high ropes courses and addressing safety issues so that outdoor educational activities can continue. The selected contractor’s award shows that specialist ropes-course repair expertise is relevant to Leicestershire County Council’s requirement at Beaumanor Hall. Suppliers should be able to deliver work on an existing outdoor course and provide a clear, commercially workable quotation and payment approach: the buyer’s comparison included both price and payment terms. The competition attracted three responses after six companies were approached, indicating a focused market for this specialist work. Experience maintaining comparable ropes installations and demonstrating how repairs support safe use would help a contractor establish relevance to this buyer’s recurring maintenance need.
