## Summary

Bishop's Stortford Town Council is seeking proposals for the enhancement of the Children's Play Area at Sworders Field, with a budget of up to £25,000. The tender, classified under playground equipment, is currently at the Tender stage, with bids due by 30th June 2017. The procurement process is open, allowing interested parties to submit turnkey solutions that could involve new installations or upgrades to existing equipment, aiming for a more inclusive play experience for children in Bishop's Stortford, located in the South East of England.

This opportunity presents a significant chance for businesses specialising in playground equipment and installation services to engage in a public procurement project that enhances community facilities. Companies that are experienced in creating inclusive play environments, as well as those capable of delivering innovative solutions within the specified budget range, would be well-placed to compete for this contract, contributing to the local infrastructure and potentially establishing a long-term relationship with the council.

## Notice

Bishop's Stortford Town Council runs a popular Children's playground on Sworders Field Bishop's Stortford at grid reference 549064:221293. This benefitted from a major investment in 2012/2013 and previous to that a programme of rolling investments, whereby typically one item of equipment was added or replaced each year. The Town Council now has up to PS25,000 to spend on a further capital enhancement and is inviting turnkey bids from interested parties. The objective is further to enhance the play experience for the target audience. This could be achieved by adding new equipment, replacing existing equipment, other interventions or a combination of measures. The resulting enhanced area should be as inclusive as reasonably possible. It is not essential that the entire budget be spent and the Council is receptive to proposals which use the whole budget, or as little as PS15,000. All figures are net of VAT.
