This tender was published on 21 November 2019 and is currently at the tender stage, with the deadline for submissions set for 16 December 2019. The procurement method is a limited competitive quotation below the threshold, and the project falls under the construction industry category, specifically related to construction work. The contract period is expected to commence on 6 January 2020 and conclude by 29 June 2020. This project presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in playground design and construction, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) looking to expand their portfolio in the public sector. Those with expertise in creating engaging environments for children, as well as knowledge in integrating STEM educational principles within play spaces, will find this tender particularly relevant. By participating in this tender, companies can contribute to enhancing the visitor experience at the museum while also accessing potential future contracts for similar projects. ## Notice The RAF Museum has a very large constituency of visitors who are under 11 but very few facilities to cater specifically for them. They are looking to introduce an outdoor playground to a specific area at our Cosford site for children under 11 to: * Engage with the heritage of the site, the RAF Cosford School of PTI and the RAF Story in the context of play * Engage with Science, Technology Engineering, and Maths (STEM) principles through play * Burn off some energy so they are better able to enjoy the rest of the Museum * Draw their families into the site to better appreciate its heritage and the full RAF Museum offer * Enjoy a high level of adventure and play that children will want to return to again and again The contractor will be responsible for the design, offsite construction, onsite installation and any required remediation work of both the playground equipment and surfaces. Any base works (such as earth movement) will be incorporated into a separate RAF Museum landscape works contract. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e5746654-7b20-4d37-a52d-f0bbb1bee44b | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Competitive quotation (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 21 Nov 2019 | | Submission deadline | 16 Dec 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 6 Jan 2020 - 29 Jun 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £1 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | THE ROYAL AIR FORCE MUSEUM | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | North West London | | Postcode | NW9 5LL | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI7 Outer London - West and North West | | ITL 3 | TLI71 Barnet | | Local authority | Barnet | | Electoral ward | Colindale North | | Westminster constituency | Hendon | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45000000 - Construction work ## Release History - 21 Nov 2019 at 17:19 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e5746654-7b20-4d37-a52d-f0bbb1bee44b ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e5746654-7b20-4d37-a52d-f0bbb1bee44b 21st November 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/f721d448-4f5a-4b3d-b637-989ad1338984 Instructions for Tenderers - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/07847e5d-82be-47ac-b7f9-1a1d6697c1a9 Play area specification - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/4589ff03-21a9-46d4-902a-085d65e1391d Form of Tender - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/1f56102e-f2f7-4be4-94d1-4a870655c21e Services - T&C - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/0ceca39c-7a73-4ad4-8674-1e26157175f9 Goods T&C - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/98fe1de7-0808-46fa-9564-5c885ab67ea7 Standard Selection Questionnaire - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/6d6141c1-0f06-4d03-ae57-d23ba61e392a Tender Invite Letter ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
