## Summary

The Henley Town Council has issued a tender for Grass Pitch Improvement Works, involving tasks such as installing a French drain and enhancing maintenance. The procurement method is an open procedure with an end date for the tender period set as 24th April 2024. The contract period is scheduled to start on 3rd June 2024 and end on 31st August 2025. The works fall under the main procurement category of "works" and are aimed at planting and maintenance services of green areas, with a total contract value of £75,000.

This tender by the Henley Town Council presents an opportunity for businesses in the plant maintenance and sports facilities operation sectors. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly suited to compete for this contract. The tender process is currently active, with an emphasis on attracting businesses capable of delivering the specified grass pitch improvement works within the set timelines and quality standards set by the Council.

## Notice

1. Level a small triangular area near the Reading Road entrance and install a French drain. 2. Trim back as far as is practically possible hedge and tree lines abutting pitch areas (to be conducted by others ahead of the works). 3. Increase the size of the Youth U15/U16 11v11 pitch immediately adjacent to the hockey pitch to 90 m x 50 m plus 3 m safety margin (no additional works anticipated). 4. Keeping within the existing site boundary (i.e. not going into the triangular powerline plot to the south-east), remove a bund and reinstate a hardcore track to extend the pitch area in the south-east of the site to accommodate two Mini-Soccer U9/U10 7v7 54.90 m x 36.60 m pitches plus 3 m safety margins (running approximately north-south). As an alternative, this area is to accommodate a single U15/U16 11v11 82.3 m x 45.75 m pitch plus 3 m safety margin (running approximately east-west). 5. Enhanced agronomic maintenance. Please see attached documents for full information. Site visits should be arranged via contact with Cath Adams at Henley Town Council. Due to annual leave, these will need to take place before 4 April 2024.
