## Notice

Kingston Bagpuize with Southmoor Parish Council is seeking a suitably qualified and experienced contractor to design and deliver new playground equipment, surfacing and associated works at Fir Tree Close Play Area. The project is based on several priorities which have evolved from the ongoing costs and maintenance of the existing surfacing and equipment, to a more wholistic view of the entire play area. The site is an important recreational asset for the local community in Southmoor, the Primary School is adjacent and good access by foot for the wider community. With a fully funded budget, this will be a significant investment for the Council who want to make sure the outcome is a play area that is well designed, practical for both children and carers, and with low maintenance of both surfacing and equipment over the long term. Please download, review and respond to all documentation by the due date and time.
