Notice Description

The Royal Parks ( "TRP" ) publishes this notice to inform qualified suppliers to complete the Selection Questionnaire for pre-qualification, the Tender process will be akin to the competitive procedure with negotiation and pre-qualification with limited qualified suppliers. Interested qualified suppliers, who have not received the SQ, can access the form via Delta for submission. The Diana Princess of Wales Memorial Playground is a two-year project that will invest PS2 million into the refurbishment and play improvement of the site. This tender consists of one Work Package (WP) with two lots.

Dependant on a successful outcome, TRP After more than 20 years the current installations are reaching the end of its anticipated lifespan. This brief will form part of an open invitation to specialists in the design and manufacture of play equipment to develop costed proposals for the replacement of the existing structures. The supplier will provide a sustainable solution to the decommissioning and removal of the existing structures working with TRP for its post life recycling/ repurposing. TRP will not consider its reuse as play equipment. The resultant design proposal must be true to the Peter Pan story, demonstrate design excellence, and respond to the character of the playground and Kensington Gardens as a whole respecting the Royal Park setting . The replacement features must be completed before the end of February 2025, however, TRP will be looking to complete the procurement as early as possible to allow maximum time for the design and build process and sign-off. (TRP intends to award WP1 by December 2023 subject to approval and a successful outcome) This is to ensure RIBA Stage 3 will be reached by April '24 to submit a planning application with sufficient time for determination before construction commences.
