This project, classified under the CPV code for playground equipment, aims to create designated play areas for toddlers, children, and teenagers, with a budget of £160,000. The tender process is currently in the active stage and is open until 4th October 2021, with the anticipated completion of the project by early spring 2022. Interested parties can submit their bids via sealed envelope as electronic submissions will not be accepted. This procurement presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in playground equipment, landscaping, and outdoor recreation facilities. Companies capable of creatively fulfilling the diverse requirements of the project, including accessible and innovative play solutions, would be particularly well-suited to compete. SMEs are encouraged to participate, as the tender is designed to consider alternative options, thereby promoting inclusivity and creativity in the design of the new play areas. ## Notice Edenbridge Town Council is looking to redevelop the existing playground area creating a new toddler and younger years play area and a juniors play space. This will include the removal of the existing swings and toddler equipment, the installation of the new equipment, and the installation of appropriate safety surfacing. A brand-new activity area for teenagers (secondary school ages) is to be created providing an additional facility. There will be three distinct areas for age groups. In a recent consultation the following desired equipment was identified but not restricted to: Play area for 0-4 years 1) Climbing frame themed with slide 2) Inclusive sensory play car (or another themed item) with wheelchair access 3) Pendulum swing Play area 5-10/11 years 1) Combination play activity to include a climbing tower, spiral slide (tubular), rope play/climb (triangular), monkey bars 2) Swings, (possibly including a nest seat) 3) Roundabout with wheelchair access 4) Rodeo board Play area teenagers (secondary school ages) 1) Zip wire suitable for older children and teenagers Other popular items included: large pendulum swing; twin pommer seat style rotating swing; challenging climbing equipment; standing rope swing; table tennis table. Items have not been specified to allow for the designer to consider and budget. Whilst specific types of equipment have been identified through engagement with users of the park, children's community groups and residents, and are highlighted within the 'specification, it is accepted that not all providers may offer the same specific equipment of this nature and so alternative options are welcome to be submitted and will be considered, and the Council welcomes creativity to provide an attractive inclusive play area. The project is hoped to be completed by early spring 2022. The installation dates quoted in this notice, are a guide as to when it would be expected to have the project completed.
