## Summary

The Appleby Town Council has issued a tender for the refurbishment of the Platinum Playground at King George V playground in Appleby. The project involves replacing outdated playground equipment with similar types (e.g., multi-play frames, swings) while maintaining the current footprint but rearranging the layout. The procurement method is a Competitive quotation below the threshold, and the tender deadline is on 31st October 2023. The contract period is from 1st December 2023 to 30th April 2024.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses involved in works related to playground equipment to compete for the refurbishment project. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are suitable bidders. Interested businesses should consider submitting competitive quotations before the deadline and aligning their proposals with the council's requirements and the playground's improvement goals.

## Notice

King George V playground in Appleby is the main children's play area in the centre of town and is well used by both local children and visitors. The majority of the current playground equipment is between 20-35 years old and is very tired looking and in a bad state of disrepair. In addition, some pieces of equipment are located under mature trees and both the equipment and surface are often very slippery and dangerous underfoot. We would like to replace the equipment with similar type equipment (ie. 2 multi-play frames, swings, etc) and we would like to keep to the existing footprint of the current playground, although we would like to change the layout so the toddler and junior multi-play systems are located on the other side, furthest away from the trees. We are also open to any suggestions or new ideas regarding equipment and layout. More information about the project can be found on the attachment.
