## Summary

Hedge End Town Council has awarded a contract for the re-surfacing of their popular paddling pool, located at the southern end of St. Johns Recreation Ground, Hedge End, Southampton (postcode: SO30 4AF). The works are classified under recreational-area services and the contract is valued at £29,700. The procurement process was conducted through an open procedure, with the tender being published on 1st March 2023, and the contract was awarded on 6th April 2023 to Redlynch Leisure Installations. The contract period commenced on 6th April 2023 and is set to be completed by 1st May 2023, ensuring the works are finalised ahead of the 2023 season starting in May.

This tender provides significant business growth opportunities for firms specialising in recreational area services, especially those capable of providing EN1177 certified wetpour rubber surfacing. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) involved in construction, landscaping, and safe surfacing installations are well-suited for such projects. The requirement to offer design options and the need to remove and dispose of the existing surface presents additional value-added opportunities for creative and environmentally responsible firms.

The pool is located on the southern end of St. Johns Recreation Ground. Access is through a gate on the northern boundary leading directly from a tarmac car park. There is no formal road to the site, but the field can be safely traversed during late spring/ summer providing it has not been too wet.
