- No specific certifications or qualifications stated in this notice — check the full tender documents for safety standards, insurance, and health & safety requirements
- Likely to require employer's liability insurance and public liability insurance (standard for school work)
- May require DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) clearance or similar vetting as work involves a primary school

How to Read This Tender
- 1This is a 'Restricted' tender notice — you must register on MultiQuote first. The full specification, drawings, and detailed requirements will only be visible once you log in, so register early.
- 2Look carefully in the full documents for: site plans showing the playground layout and drainage location, budget/contract value, start and completion dates, and any site access restrictions (e.g. work during school holidays only).
- 3Check whether the tender asks for a fixed price quote or a cost-plus arrangement, and whether playground equipment is included or you're just doing groundworks and surfaces.
- 4School projects often have strict timescales (must finish before term starts) and may require working outside normal hours — flag these in your planning.
- 5Read the Terms & Conditions carefully — schools sometimes have specific payment terms (e.g. 30-day invoicing) and contract clauses about child safeguarding and liability.
Tips for Small Businesses
- If you're a small contractor without playground experience, consider partnering with a specialist playground equipment supplier as a subcontractor — schools often prefer this model.
- Schools may ask about 'social value' in bids — emphasize local employment, training opportunities, or use of local materials if relevant to your business.
- Check the deadline for tender submission carefully and allow extra time for MultiQuote portal registration — technical issues with registering could cost you the opportunity.
