This project falls under the category of recreational and cultural services and is set in Castle Hedingham, England. The procurement is currently in the Tender stage, with an end date for submissions on 18th November 2019. A budget of £100,000 has been allocated, with £50,000 designated specifically for the play area. The contract is expected to commence in January 2020 and conclude by early May 2020, following the successful execution of landscape and estate works. This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in landscape architecture, playground design, and construction services. Companies that focus on sustainable and natural materials, as well as those experienced in creating community-oriented spaces, would be well-suited to participate. The involvement of SMEs is encouraged, making this an ideal chance for smaller firms to demonstrate their capabilities in delivering engaging and environmentally friendly public spaces that cater to the needs of families and young children. ## Notice Castle Hedingham Parish Council is entering into a new 25 year lease for an area of land to provide a much needed recreational space for its residents. The Parish Council is committed to acting as swiftly as possible to develop The Old Allotment Site into a long awaited and much needed community open space . The Parish recognizes the urgent need to provide a facility that offers play provision for families and young children. The Vision: To provide a sustainable, safe, accessible and appropriately developed public open space to meet the community's needs in an efficient and effective manner. Aim: Provide an open space that becomes a community hub for the residents of Castle Hedingham whatever their age and ability. Objectives: Enhance the physical character of the area, Provide connected routes, Protect and enhance the biodiversity of the site, Provide for children's and young peoples play, Contribute to the creation of healthy places including quiet areas, Improve opportunities for contact with the natural world The Play Provision: To be located centrally on the site and providing for 3-7yr olds and 7-12 yr olds.The expectation is that the play should provide a minimum of 40 minutes play to the casual visits made by local residents. All types of play should be considered. The use of loose-fill surfacing as part of the play experience will be viewed favourably when considering proposals put forward by tenderers. The use of natural materials is preferred. Inclusion of locally sourced felled trees as part of the overall design is encouraged whether they be part of the play offer, provision of seating or general landscaping of the area. The use of bright colours is not seen as appropriate for this site but there is an appreciation that the use of colour to highlight parts of the offer can compliment the natural feel of the open space. It is not felt that the play offer requires fencing out of the open space area. The design should exploit the local topography of the site. The wider design should identify any surfaced routes required along with fencing and gates to assist in the security of the site as well as providing access for maintenance. A community garden/allotment is also planned for the western boundary of the site. Appropriate signage at the entrances and on the site to support appropriate use should be included in the design. The designs must take into account the 10 principles of designing Successful Play Spaces Budget: PS50,000 has been allocated from the Parish capital Fund for the Play area. A further PS50,000 has been identified for landscaping and estate works, subject to successful grant applications. Our intention would be for on site works to commence anytime between January and April (subject to ground conditions) with a view to the project being completed by early May 2020 ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/06359598-e042-4bc3-95db-ae74ff495a19 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Restricted procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 2 Oct 2019 | | Submission deadline | 18 Nov 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Jan 2020 - 1 May 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £100,000 | | 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 | CASTLE HEDINGHAM PARISH COUNCIL | | Locality | HALSTEAD | | Post town | Colchester | | Postcode | CO9 3DG | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH3 Essex | | ITL 3 | TLH34 Essex Haven Gateway | | Local authority | Braintree | | Electoral ward | Hedingham | | Westminster constituency | Braintree | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 92 - Recreational, cultural and sporting services ### Codes - 92000000 - Recreational, cultural and sporting services ## Release History - 2 Oct 2019 at 11:37 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/06359598-e042-4bc3-95db-ae74ff495a19 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/06359598-e042-4bc3-95db-ae74ff495a19 2nd October 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/db7b401a-f229-4672-b54d-a561ca082a22 Tender Specification - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/7f1fd670-3dcf-4ebc-bcbe-5378de46c5a1 Supplier Response Document ## Notice URLs - http://www.castlehedingham.org ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
