This provision of a new 'play zone' aims to create an exciting and inclusive new play space for the parish. The project includes: * production of a simple concept design to be used for consultation purposes * supply and installation of new play equipment, new fencing, safety surfacing and associated groundworks. * RoSPA post installation, inspection and approval. The play area has a vehicular access via maintenance gate. Any damage to the grass between the gate and the play area to be kept to an absolute minimum. The purchase of this system is part of a grant funded application process and therefore procurement will be subject to grant approval of the project. We will assess tenders received on a Most Economically Advantageous Tender. Please refer to Ruan Minor Play Area Invitation to Tender for further details.
