This procurement is classified under goods with a focus on playground equipment and associated landscaping work. The tender period is set to close on 10 April 2020, with the total contract value estimated at £300,000, requiring at least five previous similar projects from bidding companies. This project is part of a broader strategy to create inclusive recreational spaces for local families in the East of England. This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in inclusive playground design and construction, particularly those experienced in projects that accommodate children with complex needs. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with proven track records in community-focused recreational developments would be well-suited to compete for this contract. Engaging with local community groups and understanding the specific requirements of inclusivity will be essential for potential bidders to succeed in delivering a project that meets the needs of the diverse population in the area. ## Notice It is believed that an inclusive adventure playground for Parson's Close Recreation Ground, will meet the needs of local families and will further enhance Parson's Close as a free to use destination park. It is considered by Officers that an inclusive play space will help deliver playful opportunities for all abilities. By giving families a rare occasion in spending quality leisure time together in their own community. It would be Officer's intention to work with local community groups and specialist suppliers to design an inclusive play structure that will allow all children to play together at height! The key for making this project a fantastic success is engaging and learning about how disabilities with complex additional support needs can still be allowed to appreciate the true value of play, in all children's development. It is the Town Council's intention that this play space will create something truly special for our local families and will complement the recent additions to Parson's Close. To ensure that time isn't wasted on engaging with suppliers who haven't the skills or experience in the delivery of a truly inclusive play space, Officers are asking for the tender to be limited to inclusive play companies with the experience of having delivered at least 5 similar styled projects. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f7243f3a-9899-49d2-b098-f25d751cdcc0 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Competitive quotation (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 24 Mar 2020 | | Submission deadline | 10 Apr 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Sep 2020 - 29 Jan 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £300,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Cancelled | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | LEIGHTON LINSLADE TOWN COUNCIL | | Locality | LEIGHTON BUZZARD | | Post town | Luton | | Postcode | LU7 1HD | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH2 Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire | | ITL 3 | TLH25 Central Bedfordshire | | Local authority | Central Bedfordshire | | Electoral ward | Leighton-Linslade North | | Westminster constituency | Dunstable and Leighton Buzzard | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 37 - Musical instruments, sport goods, games, toys, handicraft, art materials and accessories - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 37535200 - Playground equipment - 45112711 - Landscaping work for parks - 45112723 - Landscaping work for playgrounds ## Release History - 24 Mar 2020 at 15:29 - TenderCancellation - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f7243f3a-9899-49d2-b098-f25d751cdcc0 - 5 Feb 2020 at 09:51 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5d538027-1d08-4269-8cac-99ed7cb08f34 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5d538027-1d08-4269-8cac-99ed7cb08f34 5th February 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f7243f3a-9899-49d2-b098-f25d751cdcc0 5th February 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/3fc9d255-3f81-4208-bd1c-bc48fa5c6180 Collusive Tendering Cert and Contract Value - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/8fa5b153-891b-459f-be0c-fa5a88ac4e7b Expressions of interest - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/2b4dea3d-c46b-43d7-a908-8413ea11b688 Standardised Pre-Qualification Questionnaire ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
