This procurement is classified under the construction industry, specifically focusing on construction structures and materials, and installation services. The tender process is currently in the active stage with submissions due by 21st January 2022. The project is set to commence on 1st March 2022 and conclude by 30th April 2022, with a total estimated value of £72,500 GBP and all works to be conducted at the delivery address in PE37 7JH. This tender presents significant opportunities for local businesses, particularly those involved in construction, playground equipment design, and installation services. Companies that can deliver innovative and community-driven design solutions, especially those that cater to inclusive play for children with disabilities, will be well-suited to compete. SMEs and VCSEs are encouraged to participate, making this an excellent chance for smaller firms to engage with community projects and contribute to the development of local amenities. ## Notice This project aims to provide new facilities for children and families and to build a resilient, integrated community based around this open space. The project will: - replace the existing under 5s play area with new equipment aimed at a slightly older age range (under 8s). This will remain in the current position and be able to make use of the existing fencing and footprint. - create a new 'over 8s' play area on one side of the amenity grassland. This won't be fenced in and will have 'grass mats' rather than a wet pour surface so that it doesn't impact the surrounding environment. The new play equipment will be positioned so that it doesn't impact on the other users of the site, including dog walkers, joggers etc. - the two play areas will be linked by an area of seating and picnic benches providing somewhere for families and visitors to socialise. It will be positioned so that parents and carers are able to keep an eye on children of different ages playing on both play areas. The play equipment will be attractive and challenging, providing a range of play levels so that as children develop their strength and skill they can find something new to explore and play on. It will also provide 'inclusive' play wherever possible that can be used by children with disabilities or limited mobility. Overall, we are looking for innovative design that makes high-quality use of the space and budget available. The basis for the tender in respect of all the works will include the submission of a design to maximise the full potential of the allocated site area. The tender submission will include ONE design encompassing three distinct areas, under 8's play, over 8's play and picnic area. Designs should take into account the following preferences identified in a public consultation:- Under 8's play area * Favourite 4 pieces of equipment were a tower with slide/climbing net, swings -existing can be refurbished or replaced, roundabout, see-saw * the gate to the area to be moved to open onto the picnic area.
