This project seeks to replace the existing play area with new equipment and facilities that better serve children aged 2-8 years. The procurement process is at the tender stage, and submissions are due by 28th April 2025, with the contract period beginning on 1st May 2025 and concluding on 1st May 2026. The total estimated value of the project is £120,000. This open procedure is classified under CPV codes for playground equipment including swings, slides, climbing apparatus, and more. This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in playground construction, landscaping, and equipment supply to enhance their portfolios by working on a high-visibility community project. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to participate in this open procurement process. The project not only requires the design and installation of the new play area but also demands ongoing maintenance considerations, which could lead to long-term business relationships with Kidlington Parish Council. Suitable businesses will be experienced in creating safe, engaging, and accessible play environments for young children. ## Notice Kidlington Parish Council is seeking a suitably qualified and experienced contractor to design and deliver a play area to replace the existing facility at Park Hill Recreation Ground. The Recreation Ground is a large open space with good parking and generally used for walking, gardening (planting plots adjacent to play area) and recreational sports on the multi-use games area. The play area itself is dated and poorly designed, which requires all the existing equipment to be removed and disposed of, replaced with a new and exciting space that caters mainly for 2-8-year-olds. The existing footprint should be maintained, with the fencing remaining, however new gates, pathways, equipment and surfacing to be designed into the area. This is to ensure the site is accessible all year round, and equipment is connected using surfacing, while retaining some of the natural turf to soften the design. Maintenance is a key aspect for the Council who manage multiple play areas, and suppliers should consider this when selecting equipment. Please download all documents and submit a formal tender as per the instructions by the due date and time. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f8ca920c-650b-44ae-bf16-f6a24793ca32 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 3 Mar 2025 | | Submission deadline | 28 Apr 2025 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Apr 2025 - 1 May 2026 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £120,000 | | 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 | KIDLINGTON PARISH COUNCIL | | Locality | KIDLINGTON | | Post town | Oxford | | Postcode | OX5 1AB | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ1 Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire | | ITL 3 | TLJ14 Oxfordshire CC | | Local authority | Cherwell | | Electoral ward | Kidlington East | | Westminster constituency | Bicester and Woodstock | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 37 - Musical instruments, sport goods, games, toys, handicraft, art materials and accessories ### Codes - 37535100 - Swings - 37535200 - Playground equipment - 37535210 - Playground swings - 37535220 - Playground climbing apparatus - 37535230 - Playground merry go rounds - 37535240 - Playground slides - 37535250 - Playground see saws - 37535260 - Playground tunnels - 37535290 - Wall and rope climbing equipment - 37535291 - Wall climbing equipment - 37535292 - Rope climbing equipment ## Release History - 3 Mar 2025 at 10:20 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f8ca920c-650b-44ae-bf16-f6a24793ca32 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f8ca920c-650b-44ae-bf16-f6a24793ca32 3rd March 2025 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/e52adfa2-d7c9-405f-b420-182ba3c3e8a6 Form of Tender - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/b5c5701a-5d55-413f-b524-d66ae2127dcd Warranty and Reference Information - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/9ef46478-0ad8-4c5d-a85c-f3314db05cb2 Specification Document - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/b2c77cb9-e30c-42ea-8e1c-7bf7a8ef82f5 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/17675a8f-b281-4068-951e-7ed0e7cb2202 Main Tender Document ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
