This contract falls under the works category and has an estimated value of £130,000, with a minimum value of £120,000. The open procurement process is at the tender stage, with submissions due by 12 noon on 19th November 2021. The project aims to provide a playground suitable for children aged 1 to 18, and bidders are required to present comprehensive designs and safety assessments as part of their proposals. This tender presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in playground construction and maintenance, particularly those with expertise in designing multi-age play areas. Companies that can demonstrate strong health and safety practices, as well as experience in delivering similar projects, will be well-positioned to compete. The initiative can support growth for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the public works sector, allowing them to engage with local authorities while enhancing community facilities. ## Notice Crowborough Town Council manages and maintains five playground sites across Crowborough. At our Goldsmiths Recreation ground we have a large open space for residents to enjoy, along with local football and running club meeting on a weekly basis. The site also hosts a playground, skatepark, boating lake and outdoor gym. Goldsmiths Recreation Ground is our flagship site hosting the majority of our events throughout the year. The site is well used by residents and the playground is used daily. The current condition of the playground has slowly deteriorated, and they are now in need of refurbishment. The invitation to tender includes providing a playground which can be used by differing ages of children between the ages of 1 year to 18 years. The tender should provide a design of the playground along with a specification of equipment being offered and what ages it will be suitable for. The tenderer must provide details of their health and safety structure and memberships held, along with examples of risk assessments and safe working practices. Crowborough Town Council intends to enter into a contract with a suitably qualified and experienced contractor to undertake this project.
