This project aims to design, manage, and construct a new play area catering to children aged 2-11 years, enhancing the existing recreational facilities with additional features including an adult fitness trail. The tender is currently in the planning stage, with a budget of approximately £200,000 excluding VAT. Interested parties must submit their proposals by 26 June 2020, after which the contract is set to commence on 2 November 2020 and run until 28 November 2020. The procurement method is open, allowing wide participation in the bidding process. This tender represents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in playground design, construction, and project management, particularly those with experience in similar community projects. Companies that excel in health and safety practices and can demonstrate a commitment to inclusivity will be particularly well-suited to participate. The project not only aims to create an engaging space for children but also to foster community well-being through the proposed outdoor fitness equipment, thus offering potential for businesses that align with social responsibility and sustainability initiatives. ## Notice Benson Parish Council (BPC) has funding to redevelop its Sunnyside Play Area and is seeking an experienced company to design, project manage and build a new exciting, imaginative 'destination' play area together with additional outdoor facilities such as an adult fitness trail alongside. The current range of play equipment in the play area is aimed at children from 2-8 yrs and the Parish Council would like to broaden the age range appeal from 2-11 years and incorporate a greater range of equipment for use by older children with special needs. We are looking to install a bespoke, robust and durable play area with imaginative multi coloured safety surface throughout. The overall project will deliver a range of social possibilities for the whole community to enjoy - and as such we are also seeking an adult fitness area outside the fenced play area on the east side incorporating, as suggestions only, an outdoor bleep test track or a trim trail. The supplier will need to have proven and demonstrated experience in similar projects and a wide ranging skill base to achieve the various elements of the contract, working closely with BPC and user groups in the construction and installation of the play area, health & safety management and defect diagnosis and rectification. The supplier must be able to demonstrate an excellent Health and Safety record, accordingly suppliers that cannot demonstrate an excellent record, free from enforcement action, will not be considered. The supplier must also demonstrate that all practicable steps are being taken to allow equal access and equal treatment in employment and service delivery, as appropriate to the nature of the project as well as sustainability. Our budget for this project depends on the quality of the proposal but as a guide the maximum will be around PS200k exc VAT. Expressions of interest should be addressed to The Clerk, Benson Parish Council, Benson Parish Hall, Sunnyside, Benson OX10 6LZ. or emailed to clerk@bensonpc.org.uk ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0a02cf9a-571a-411a-8dd6-c6333711e26f | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | 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 Apr 2020 | | Submission deadline | 26 Jun 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 2 Nov 2020 - 28 Nov 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £150,000 | | 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 | BENSON PARISH COUNCIL | | Locality | WALLINGFORD | | Post town | Oxford | | Postcode | OX10 6LZ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ1 Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire | | ITL 3 | TLJ14 Oxfordshire CC | | Local authority | South Oxfordshire | | Electoral ward | Benson & Crowmarsh | | Westminster constituency | Henley and Thame | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 92 - Recreational, cultural and sporting services ### Codes - 92000000 - Recreational, cultural and sporting services ## Release History - 3 Apr 2020 at 15:09 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0a02cf9a-571a-411a-8dd6-c6333711e26f - 3 Apr 2020 at 15:05 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0a02cf9a-571a-411a-8dd6-c6333711e26f - 3 Apr 2020 at 12:01 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0a02cf9a-571a-411a-8dd6-c6333711e26f - 3 Apr 2020 at 11:58 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0a02cf9a-571a-411a-8dd6-c6333711e26f - 2 Apr 2020 at 12:00 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0a02cf9a-571a-411a-8dd6-c6333711e26f ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0a02cf9a-571a-411a-8dd6-c6333711e26f 3rd April 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/852033b2-7bcd-4f8d-a294-f2817fc0b46a Full project details - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/c8bc009c-75f5-4462-9e39-0cf1eb632f76 Full project brief and survey results - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/415f3072-2044-4168-bf57-547ccec36268 Full project brief - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/3da816e9-15ce-447c-98ab-83e535007751 Survey summary ## Notice URLs - http://bensonpc.org.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
