Mawnan Park Recreational Play Project
Authority: Mawnan Parish Council (Local council)·On behalf of: SPORTS AND PLAY CONSULTING LIMITED
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionMawnan 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.

Competition analysis · published record, not a forecast of who will bid
Competition for Playground equipment (CPV 3753), and who usually turns up
Mawnan Parish Council has too little published record in this market to describe on its own. No delivery region is published, so no market column stands beside whatever it has. Frameworks and DPS are kept out: they attract a different number of bids. Whole-market view: Playground equipment (CPV 3753) →

About this data
- Source. Official UK public procurement notices (Find a Tender), reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0. New notices arrive through the day; the figures are rebuilt nightly.
- Two views, kept apart. The authority’s own track record and the wider market for the same kind of work sit side by side and are never mixed. Where the local picture is too thin, a figure widens to a broader market and says which one it used.
- Forecasts are labelled. The price forecast and its range, possible competitors and the earlier-work matches are our estimates from past awards: not published facts, not win chances and not price advice. Official notices do not say who is bidding.
- Every figure shows what it rests on. Not every notice publishes a bid count, a value or a delivery region, so each figure carries the number of records behind it, and one built on few records is marked as such. The on a figure explains it; the counting rules are in the methodology. Spotted something wrong? Tell us.
