## Summary

Harpenden Town Council is inviting tenders for the redevelopment of both the Roundwood Lane and Wood End play areas, with a procurement process classified under works in the playground equipment industry category. The tender is currently in the active stage and is planned to conclude on 3rd November 2021. The work aims to be completed before the Easter school holidays in 2022, with a budget of £80,000 allocated for each play area. The procurement method employed is an open procedure below the threshold, enabling wider participation from interested contractors.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in playground equipment and construction to expand their services. Experienced contractors, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community sector enterprises (VCSEs), are encouraged to apply. The community-driven improvements aim to enhance local play facilities, making this an excellent chance for businesses to contribute positively to community welfare while growing their portfolios.

## Notice

Harpenden Town Council is finalising arrangements to take ownership of both the Roundwood Lane and Wood End Open Spaces from St Albans City & District Council in Autumn 2021. The Town Council wishes to quickly deliver on its vision to redevelop the play areas at these sites in time for Easter school holidays 2022. We have been consulting with the Roundwood Lane and Wood End Play Area Working Party, to develop a vision for the improvement of each of the children's play areas. In-depth community engagement has been undertaken to find out what is good about the play areas at the moment and what improvements should be considered in the future. During the community engagement exercises we received over 265 responses. These findings have been built into this tender document. Harpenden Town Council is now looking to deliver the improvements identified by the community and has a budget of PS80,000 per play area to do so. We are now seeking tenders for the provision and installation of play equipment from suitably experienced and qualified contractors.
