The site is a community recreation space reached from Carwinion Road and by footpaths from Shute Hill and Grove Hill. The work concerns playground and leisure-facility construction, including replacement of the zip wire removed after safety inspections and improvements to the existing play area. Existing equipment includes a roundabout, two swings, a trim trail and a climbing fort. This phase forms part of the Mawnan Park Masterplan but does not deliver the full plan. Later phases are intended to include further play equipment, accessible paths and seating. The council is the buying organisation. The process has reached tender: the council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. It is a single-lot works contract. Questions and requests for clarification had to be submitted by 30 September 2026 at 23:59:59, and tenders were due by 9 October 2026 at 16:00. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 December 2026 to 1 December 2027. Its estimated value is £100,000 excluding VAT, or £120,000 including VAT. Electronic submission is permitted. Tenders will be evaluated on design at 60%, technical quality at 30% and presentation at 10%. The procurement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The tender documents include the scope of works, tender form, warranty and reference information, draft building agreement, masterplan and topographical survey. This opportunity suits a suitably qualified contractor able to design and deliver playground improvement and leisure-facility construction works. Relevant capability includes working with play equipment such as swings, climbing apparatus, slides and merry-go-rounds, and delivering a replacement zip wire as part of a wider park improvement scheme. Suppliers should be able to prepare a strong design response, demonstrate technical competence and present their proposal clearly, because these elements together determine the evaluation outcome. The procurement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so it may fit an established specialist playground contractor or a smaller construction business with the required delivery capacity. The tender requirements also include warranty and reference information, making evidence of reliable previous work important. ## Notice 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. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/077616-2026 | | Notice type | UK4 - Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Below threshold - open competition | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 14 Aug 2026 | | Submission deadline | 9 Oct 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Dec 2026 - 1 Dec 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £100,000 | | Lots value | £100,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | Mawnan Parish Council | | Locality | MAWNAN SMITH | | Postcode area | Truro | | Postcode | TR11 5EW | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK3 Cornwall and Isles of Scilly | | ITL 3 | TLK30 Cornwall and Isles of Scilly | | Local authority | Cornwall | | Electoral ward | Constantine, Mabe & Mawnan | | Westminster constituency | Camborne and Redruth | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLE Yorkshire and The Humber, TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLI London, TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 37 - Musical instruments, sport goods, games, toys, handicraft, art materials and accessories - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 37535100 - Swings - 37535200 - Playground equipment - 37535210 - Playground swings - 37535220 - Playground climbing apparatus - 37535230 - Playground merry go rounds - 37535240 - Playground slides - 45212100 - Construction work of leisure facilities ## Release History - 14 Aug 2026 at 11:44 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/077616-2026 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/077616-2026 14th August 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/A-21094 Appendix A - Scope of Works - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/A-21095 Appendix B - Form of Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/A-21096 Appendix C - Warranty and Reference Information - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/A-21097 Appendix D - Draft Building Agreement - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/A-21098 Appendix E - Mawnan Park Masterplan - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/A-21099 Appendix F - Topographical Survey - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/A-21100 Main Tender Document ## Notice URLs - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
