Notice Information

Notice Title

Hazlemere Recreation Ground Redevelopment Tender

Notice Description

Hazlemere Parish Council are inviting companies to Tender for the refurbishment of Hazlemere Recreation Ground playground. The successful contractor will be responsible for the turnkey delivery of the project, including: * Site Preparation: Safe dismantling, removal, and environmentally responsible disposal of all existing playground equipment and the current nature trail. * Surfacing: Removal of existing safety surfacing and installation of a new, durable, compliant, and low-maintenance safety surface (e.g., wet pour, bonded mulch, or smart hybrid surfacing) that meets all BS EN 1176/1177 standards. * Play Equipment Installation: Supply and installation of new play equipment catering to a wide range of ages and abilities. * Nature Trail: Complete redesign and replacement of the nature trail to foster sensory and environmental engagement - it does not need to be another nature trail. * (Optional) The Zip Wire: Replacement of the existing zip wire located adjacent to the main playground on a like-for-like basis (or enhanced equivalent), ensuring it remains a robust attraction for older children. 3. Design & Play Requirements Target Demographics The playground must provide distinct yet beautifully integrated play zones that cater one primary age group, while maintaining overall inclusivity: * Toddler & Junior (Ages 2-12 years): The core playground area must maximize play value, offering physical, sensory, social, and imaginative play opportunities. * (Optional) Teens (Up to 16 years): The zip wire area must be designed to withstand heavy use and continue providing dynamic play value for older youth. Key Design Principles * Inclusivity: The design must look beyond minimum accessibility. We require a space where children with physical, neurodivergent, or sensory disabilities can play alongside their peers. * Play Value: High density of play features per square meter (e.g., climbing, balancing, swinging, sliding, tactile panels, and roleplay elements). * Biodiversity & Integration: The new nature trail should seamlessly blend into the recreation ground, utilizing natural materials where appropriate to encourage exploration of local flora and fauna. * Value of money: The project must provide value for money Budget & Financial Framework * Core Proposed Budget: PS80,000 (inclusive of all plant, labour, materials, waste disposal, and post-installation certification). * Budget Flexibility: The Council recognizes that delivering exceptional inclusivity or uniquely high play value may require additional investment. Bidders are encouraged to submit a baseline design matching the PS80k budget, but may present a fully costed add-on case illustrating what specific additional funds would deliver and how it maximizes the return on investment for the community submissions are to be emailed to deputyclerk@hazlemereparishcouncil.gov.uk by noon on 1st September 2026. Interested parties must attend a site visit.
