The park is located at the Eastern Gateway development site in Barnsley Town Centre and aims to create a safe space for young people to undertake a variety of activities away from the town centre. The project is at RIBA Stage 2 and includes a skate park, pump track, activity play area, and more. The tender is classified under construction works with an open procurement method, and the tender period ends on 16th November 2023. The contract period is scheduled from 1st July 2024 to 31st March 2025. This tender presents an opportunity for businesses experienced in delivering activity parks and public realm works to engage with the Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) would be well-suited to compete in this tender as it is flagged for SME suitability. The Youth Activity Park project aligns with the Council's goal to optimise the surrounding space to the Youth Zone, providing space for various age groups and activities. Businesses interested in infrastructure development, recreation facilities, or construction works may find this contract especially relevant for their growth and development. ## Notice The Council is looking to provide a Youth Activity Park (YAP) in Barnsley Town Centre. The park seeks to compliment the Onside Youth Zone, the construction of which is due to commence shortly. In this pre-market engagement exercise we would like to obtain feedback from potential suppliers with experience delivering activity parks / public realm work to assess the subsequent procurement route and to obtain any lessons learned from experience - thus promoting overall success. For the avoidance of doubt - this is a pre-market engagement exercise in order to gather information from potential suppliers. This stage is not a tendering exercise. The YAP is located at the Eastern Gateway development site, opposite the Barnsley Train Station on Schwabisch Gmund Way in the town centre. However, the design is subject to ongoing wider stakeholder consultation / collaboration and the project is at RIBA Stage 2. Currently, the space planning involves a diversified offer that includes a skate park, pump track, activity play area, parkour area, active recreation routes and potentially a small toilet facility / equipment hire unit. The purpose of the Activity Park will be to provide a safe space for young people in Barnsley. The Activity Park will provide space to undertake a multitude of activities and allow young people of all age groups a space away from the town centre to socialise. Full planning permission has been granted for the Youth Zone which is located on the adjacent to the Activity Park with works due to commence shortly. This could mean that two contractors will be working on site at the same time. The primary goal of this project is to optimise the surrounding space to the Youth Zone and create an Activity Park catering for a variety of age groups and type of activity. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7bc0365f-48db-4025-836f-d142e9cfdd04 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 26 Oct 2023 | | Submission deadline | 16 Nov 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Jun 2024 - 31 Mar 2025 | | 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 | BARNSLEY METROPOLITAN BOROUGH COUNCIL | | Locality | BARNSLEY, SOUTH YORKSHIRE | | Post town | Sheffield | | Postcode | S70 2TA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE3 South Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE33 Barnsley | | Local authority | Barnsley | | Electoral ward | Central | | Westminster constituency | Barnsley North | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45000000 - Construction work ## Release History - 26 Oct 2023 at 13:37 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7bc0365f-48db-4025-836f-d142e9cfdd04 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7bc0365f-48db-4025-836f-d142e9cfdd04 26th October 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=73853&B=UK Additional data - https://uk.eu-supply.com/ctm/Company/CompanyInformation/Index/103835 User / Company ## Notice URLs - https://www.barnsley.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
