Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Kidlington Parish Council is initiating a public procurement process for the redevelopment of the Park Hill Recreation Ground Play Area, located in Kidlington, England (OX5 2DB). This project seeks to replace the existing play area with new equipment and facilities that better serve children aged 2-8 years. The procurement process is at the tender stage, and submissions are due by 28th April 2025, with the contract period beginning on 1st May 2025 and concluding on 1st May 2026. The total estimated value of the project is £120,000. This open procedure is classified under CPV codes for playground equipment including swings, slides, climbing apparatus, and more.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in playground construction, landscaping, and equipment supply to enhance their portfolios by working on a high-visibility community project. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to participate in this open procurement process. The project not only requires the design and installation of the new play area but also demands ongoing maintenance considerations, which could lead to long-term business relationships with Kidlington Parish Council. Suitable businesses will be experienced in creating safe, engaging, and accessible play environments for young children.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Park Hill Recreation Ground Play Area

Notice Description

Kidlington Parish Council is seeking a suitably qualified and experienced contractor to design and deliver a play area to replace the existing facility at Park Hill Recreation Ground. The Recreation Ground is a large open space with good parking and generally used for walking, gardening (planting plots adjacent to play area) and recreational sports on the multi-use games area. The play area itself is dated and poorly designed, which requires all the existing equipment to be removed and disposed of, replaced with a new and exciting space that caters mainly for 2-8-year-olds. The existing footprint should be maintained, with the fencing remaining, however new gates, pathways, equipment and surfacing to be designed into the area. This is to ensure the site is accessible all year round, and equipment is connected using surfacing, while retaining some of the natural turf to soften the design. Maintenance is a key aspect for the Council who manage multiple play areas, and suppliers should consider this when selecting equipment. Please download all documents and submit a formal tender as per the instructions by the due date and time.
