## Summary

The Dodington Parish Council is seeking bids for the "Woodchester Play Area Improvements," aimed at refurbishing the play equipment in the Parish of Dodington, South Gloucestershire, near Yate and Chipping Sodbury. This project, focused on park and playground equipment, is currently in the award stage, following a planned tender process. The total budget for the contract is £30,000, with a minimum value of £10,000. Interested companies must submit their proposals by midnight on 15th January 2019, while the project has a contract period set to begin on 1st March 2019 and end by 31st May 2019.

This tender represents significant opportunities for companies in the playground equipment sector, particularly those that specialise in park enhancements and refurbishments. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as the project is designed to be accessible to various bidders. Given the focus on refurbishment activities in two phases—initially targeting toddler play equipment—businesses that offer innovative solutions and quality equipment are particularly well-suited to compete. Additionally, the open session scheduled for 12th December 2018 will allow prospective bidders to ask questions and gain insights into the project expectations.

## Notice

We are looking to refurbish the equipment at one of our Play Areas within the Parish of Dodington (South Gloucestershire) near Yate and Chipping Sodbury. Monies have become available due to a new development of houses - and Section 106 funds have been granted towards these enhancements. We are initially looking to refurbish the toddler play equipment on offer and also the recreational area. This will be done in two phases and interested companies are invited to bid for either or both of the two phases. Tender bids will be reviewed in January 2019 with the deadline for receipt being midnight on Tuesday 15th January 2019. We also plan to hold an open session at the play area on Wednesday 12th December from 10:00am - 12:00pm, which you are welcome to attend if you would like to visit the site and ask questions (the site is also accessible at all other times). We intend for Phase 1 (toddler play area refurbishment) to be completed during March/April 2019 and Phase 2 (recreational area refurbishment) to be completed during May 2019. Please review the tender brief which is attached to this notice and if you have any further questions at this stage, please contact us at the phone number and email address contained within the brief.
