The project, titled "Designing and Constructing a New Skatepark at Springfield, Corsham," falls under the industry category of sports facilities operation services (CPV 92610000). Key dates include an engagement end date on 13th January 2025. The procurement method is a tender process, and the appointed contractor will potentially enter into a JCT contract. Initial engagement began with a notice published on 2nd December 2024, with further specifications added by 19th December 2024. This tender presents significant opportunities for growth, particularly for SMEs specialising in skatepark design and construction. The successful bidder will have the chance to collaborate closely with local stakeholders, manage the planning process, and support fundraising initiatives. Companies experienced in accessing grants and delivering high-quality recreational facilities will find this opportunity suitable. The project is expected to cost around £350,000 plus VAT, offering financial opportunities for businesses capable of meeting the specified requirements and working within the project's scope. The engagement also ensures that the contractor plays a crucial role in the successful realisation of a community-driven facility, enhancing their portfolio. ## Notice Corsham Town Council is seeking to appoint an experienced specialist skatepark company to design and construct a new skatepark at Springfield Recreation Ground. The successful company will be expected to work closely with the Town Council and the Corsham Skatepark Project Group; to design a new skatepark; to support efforts to access grants from national organisations (and to support the Corsham Skatepark Project Group in its efforts to raise funds locally); to manage the planning process for the new skatepark and ultimately, to construct and deliver a fantastic new facility for skaters in Corsham. Whilst the Town Council has earmarked a substantial sum towards the project and the Corsham Skatepark Project Group has started to raise funds from the local community, not all the funding is in place yet. As such, the contractor will be initially appointed as a speculative partner. Once a design has been agreed, planning permission has been secured and the necessary funding is in place, the contractor will be asked to enter into a JCT contract with Corsham Town Council to construct the new skatepark. The new skatepark is to be constructed on the site of the existing 400m2 facility, though there is scope, and the aspiration amongst local skaters, to expand the footprint if funding and the eventual design permits. Any expansion in the size of facility should not however be at the expense of quality. Corsham Town Council expects the total cost of the project to be around PS350,000 +VAT. A specification which sets out the procurement process and contains a lot more background information is attached to this notice. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/de0517d6-d632-4a16-9859-30f3fcb96d40 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 19 Dec 2024 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 13 Jan 2025 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | CORSHAM TOWN COUNCIL | | Locality | CORSHAM | | Post town | Swindon | | Postcode | SN13 0EZ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK7 Gloucestershire and Wiltshire | | ITL 3 | TLK72 Wiltshire | | Local authority | Wiltshire | | Electoral ward | Corsham Ladbrook | | Westminster constituency | Chippenham | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 92 - Recreational, cultural and sporting services ### Codes - 92610000 - Sports facilities operation services ## Release History - 19 Dec 2024 at 15:26 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/de0517d6-d632-4a16-9859-30f3fcb96d40 - 12 Dec 2024 at 16:52 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/de0517d6-d632-4a16-9859-30f3fcb96d40 - 2 Dec 2024 at 10:09 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/de0517d6-d632-4a16-9859-30f3fcb96d40 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/de0517d6-d632-4a16-9859-30f3fcb96d40 19th December 2024 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/d60831c2-57ed-49e1-a4aa-83e5bbafa1f9 Please refer to the attached specification for details on how to submit tenders and for additional information on the project. - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/289e765d-15ad-4c58-b075-c9a8591caaf1 Amended Specification added 19th December. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
