## Summary

The Shaftesbury Town Council has initiated a tender for the Play Spaces Upgrade project, aiming to enhance four play spaces in Shaftesbury, North Dorset. The improvements involve minor changes to play equipment, landscape settings, and site furniture. Contractors are required to inspect the sites before submitting tenders. The procurement method is an open procedure, with a procurement deadline of September 18, 2023. The contract period is scheduled to start on January 8, 2024, and end on February 18, 2024.

This procurement opportunity focuses on works related to playground equipment and landscaping, presenting favourable conditions for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) keen on tendering for construction projects. Businesses in the landscaping and playground equipment sectors are well-suited to compete in this tender process, offering a chance to contribute to the enhancement of public play spaces while expanding their commercial reach.

## Notice

Tenders are invited from contractors for improvements to four play spaces in Shaftesbury, North Dorset. The fifth space (Cockrams) is to be omitted from the scope. The improvements represent relatively minor changes to small scale play spaces which over the years have deteriorated. Improvements include the introduction of a few new items of play equipment, small scale improvements to the landscape setting, and to site furniture and fittings. All of the play areas are freely accessible around the clock and all contractors tendering are expected to inspect the sites prior to submitting a tender. We are currently assuming due to the small scale of the scheme that it would not have to comply fully with the CDM regulations however we would expect to discuss this with whoever is appointed and make whatever arrangements are required. Tenders should be submitted via email to STCconfidentialtenders@shaftesbury-tc.gov.uk
