Tuffley Park is a focal hub of the community, providing informal and formal leisure activities and is a regular pedestrian walkthrough for school children. Currently, Tuffley Park does not have any form of pathway for users to: 1. Transition across the park 2. Fully utilise the park features. The current grass is boggy, uneven, restricting access for those with mobility needs and unsuitable for the general public especially during winter months. Having consulted with local residents the park currently restricts participation of persons with mobility needs and forms a barrier to other thriving areas. A new pedestrian footpath with a total length of 245 linear metres is required. Pricing to include for two width options Option 1 at 2.0m and Option 2 at 1.5 metre wide with softwood edgings. Construction of a self-binding gravel footpath, including pressure treated softwood timber edgings. Path to be constructed with central camber (to allow path to shed water). The Contractor will supply materials and construct the new self-binding gravel path and edging, to the specification set out below. On award of contract, the Authority and the Contractor will agree on site, the exact location and line of footpath. Agree on site, the delivery and temporary storage of gravel and materials for constructing the footpath on Tuffley Park. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/684e667d-2bdc-4c68-9581-4628482f7244 | | 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 | 8 May 2024 | | Submission deadline | 29 May 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 4 Jun 2024 - 31 Jul 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £70,000 | | 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 | GLOUCESTER CITY COUNCIL | | Locality | THE DOCKS | | Post town | Gloucester | | Postcode | GL1 2EQ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK7 Gloucestershire and Wiltshire | | ITL 3 | TLK73 Gloucestershire CC | | Local authority | Gloucester | | Electoral ward | Westgate | | Westminster constituency | Gloucester | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45112711 - Landscaping work for parks ## Release History - 8 May 2024 at 14:22 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/684e667d-2bdc-4c68-9581-4628482f7244 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/684e667d-2bdc-4c68-9581-4628482f7244 8th May 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://www.gloucester.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
