## Summary

South Derbyshire District Council is inviting tenders for the design and creation of a new play feature at Rosliston Forestry Centre, replacing the existing "sparrow hawk" play equipment. This procurement, classified under CPV code 37535200 for playground equipment, is currently at the tender stage, with key dates including the tender period end date on 14 February 2025 at 12:00 PM and the contract period starting on 24 February 2025 and ending on 31 May 2025. The project, located in England, United Kingdom, aims to attract innovative and high-quality designs to enhance the park's amenities for its 200,000 annual visitors.

This tender provides an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in playground and park equipment, particularly those capable of delivering bespoke and iconic designs. With a value of GBP 70,000 and an open procurement procedure, this contract is particularly well-suited for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) looking to expand their portfolio in the public sector. Companies capable of providing standout, quality play equipment that adds significant value to community spaces are encouraged to participate.

## Notice

Rosliston Forestry Centre is managed by South Derbyshire District Council and attracts over 200,000 visitors a year. The current "sparrow hawk" bespoke play equipment is old and is not of the quality or value that the residents of South Derbyshire expect from such a location. Therefore the Council intend to replace this item with a more modern iconic piece of play equipment and welcome designs from suitably competent companies to make a statement piece for the forestry centre.
