Summary of the contracting process

Madron Parish Council is seeking refurbishment of the King George V Play Area, including play equipment and perimeter fencing. The aim is to create a safe, inclusive and imaginative play space that is environmentally sensitive. The equipment scope covers outdoor play structures such as swings, climbing apparatus, slides and see-saws. The work is for the parish’s play area in Madron, Cornwall. This is a goods procurement, with installation and refurbishment work needed to deliver the finished play space. Suppliers whose business covers playground design, equipment supply and site refurbishment are likely to recognise the requirement; the design, materials and safety of the completed space form central parts of the specification.

The process reached the tender stage: Madron Parish Council invited suppliers to submit offers through an open competition, with electronic submission allowed. There is one lot. Both the enquiry deadline and bid submission deadline were set for 26 November 2026 at 23:59 UTC. The contract period is scheduled from 10 December 2026 to 31 March 2027, with a possible extension to 1 May 2027 if delivery cannot be completed by the end of March. The estimated value is £40,000 excluding VAT (£48,000 including VAT). Evaluation gives 35% to design and materials, 30% to price, 15% to safety standards, 10% to project management and delivery timescale, and 5% each to environmental sustainability and warranty and aftercare.

The opportunity is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses and is focused on a single play-area refurbishment rather than a multi-site programme. It will suit suppliers able to propose a strong design and durable materials, supply or install playground equipment, and deliver perimeter fencing as part of a complete scheme. Bidders need to show that their equipment and approach comply with relevant safety standards. The evaluation also rewards sound project management and a credible delivery timescale, alongside environmentally sustainable choices. A clear warranty and aftercare offer is part of the assessed proposition. Suppliers with experience delivering safe, inclusive play spaces and coordinating equipment, installation and site works will be well placed to respond.
