This open procurement process, classified under works, is currently in the tender stage, with proposals due by 6th October 2017. The project has a fixed budget of £280,000 and encompasses various enhancements to the children's play area and other park sections. The contract period is expected to commence on 13th January 2018 and conclude on 25th May 2018, with the park located in Borehamwood, Hertfordshire. This opportunity is categorised under "Playground equipment" and related landscaping works. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in public works, landscape architecture, playground installations, and general construction. Companies specialising in playground equipment, sports facility upgrades, and environmental design would be particularly suited to compete, leveraging their expertise to improve community spaces. With the anticipated increase in local population, there is a growing demand for upgraded recreational facilities, making this project a valid avenue for business growth in the region. ## Notice Open to the public since 1929, Meadow Park in Borehamwood is popular for sport and has a range of facilities including an children's play area, tennis courts, multi-sports courts, interactive play, teen shelter, football pitches, open grassland and a wildflower meadow. The park also hosts local events including Families Day, Halloween Funday and the Annual Fireworks Display. Recent developments on the Elstree Way corridor as well as current schemes at 12 Elstree Way, Isopad House and Hertswood School will significantly increase the population of Borehamwood without providing additional open space or play provision. There is already a deficit in provision of open space and play in Borehamwood and the Cowley Hill ward - Meadow Park is an important park serving this ward and all of the new developments. There are a number of current issues which have been identified and the whole project will look to address these;- o Apart from events, Meadow Park is generally used as a cut-through rather than a destination. o Usage of sports facilities o Play area (for children up to the age of 8) is out of date o Location of changing rooms for pitches o Perimeter pathway and neighbouring fence line o Anti-social issues at annual fun fair o Lack of joint working with football club o Lack of engagement with community o Need for greater car parking requirements The tender is for the play area improvement element of a larger park scheme which may also include the following potential improvements (subject to separate work packages and procurement processes as appropriate);- o Wildlife or Community garden to be created between play area and neighbouring properties o Fitness station and trail with surface markings (probably artificial grass) offering different levels of difficulty as you progress o Creation of a tree lined greenway across the park. Surface to be glow in the dark to aid usability and security at night-time. Route will link changing facilities and access from parking to all park facilities (including football pitches) to Edulf Road (and beyond to other parks and developments) o Hard standing link from Meadow Road to the greenway incorporating an events pad o Resurfacing of Tennis Courts (hard or artificial grass) o Reinstatement of sports courts or possibly alternative provision in 2019 following temporary use of existing ball courts as additional car parking facility o Installation of an additional multi-sports court (included as an additional option in this tender) o Installation of bmx pump track (included as an additional option in this tender) o Landscape improvements, improvement to wildflowers on site, tree planting, improvement to entrances and boundaries o Creation of a park caf? o Achieving a Green Flag Award by 2019 The project has a fixed budget of ?280,000 and the council is looking to maximise this budget Additional information: Is a Recurrent Procurement Type? : No ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/cd5142e2-500e-424f-9d7c-5a43cb620233 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 4 Sep 2017 | | Submission deadline | 6 Oct 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 13 Jan 2018 - 25 May 2018 | | 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 | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | ANY OF THE PROJECTS LISTED ON THE PORTAL | | Locality | HERTFORDSHIRE | | Post town | Watford | | Postcode | WD6 1WA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH2 Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire | | ITL 3 | TLH27 South West Hertfordshire | | Local authority | Hertsmere | | Electoral ward | Borehamwood Cowley Hill | | Westminster constituency | Hertsmere | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 37 - Musical instruments, sport goods, games, toys, handicraft, art materials and accessories - 43 - Machinery for mining, quarrying, construction equipment - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 37535200 - Playground equipment - 43325000 - Park and playground equipment - 45112723 - Landscaping work for playgrounds - 45236210 - Flatwork for children's play area ## Release History - 4 Sep 2017 at 13:26 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/cd5142e2-500e-424f-9d7c-5a43cb620233 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/cd5142e2-500e-424f-9d7c-5a43cb620233 4th September 2017 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://in-tendhost.co.uk/supplyhertfordshire/aspx/ Additional information on how to apply for this contract ## Notice URLs - http://www.hertsmere.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
