## Summary

The West Swindon Parish Council is planning the Shaw Ridge Play Area Refurbishment procurement process. This involves revitalizing play areas within Shaw Ridge Linear Park, with a focus on creating a welcoming and inclusive environment for pre-school to primary age children. The procurement invites play companies to provide design ideas and costings, aiming to allocate a budget ranging from £50,000 to £150,000. The deadline for engagement with the Council ends on August 31, 2023. The project falls under the industry category of Recreational, cultural and sporting services, with the delivery address located in SN5 7ES, United Kingdom.

This tender by the West Swindon Parish Council for Shaw Ridge Play Area Refurbishment offers an opportunity for small and medium-sized businesses specialising in play equipment and recreational services. Companies with a focus on designing open, vandal-proof, and inclusive play areas, especially those accommodating children with disabilities, are well-suited to compete. The Council encourages innovative ideas that enhance access and engagement for children within a public open space setting. Interested firms should prepare to participate in the forthcoming formal tender process following the submission of initial design proposals.

## Notice

West Swindon Parish Council is reviewing its play area provision on Shaw Ridge Linear Park. There are two play areas within this public open space. One has been refurbished and the other is now under review. The location is what.3.words ///relay.copy.stray. The Parish Council is inviting play companies to submit ideas for refurbishment on a scale of PS50,000, PS100,000 and PS150,000. This will enable the Council to set a realistic budget for any programmed refurbishment. Interested parties should submit design ideas and outline costings (hard copy imagery is not required at this stage). A formal invitation to tender will follow. This is a popular location as it is sits within public open space between two primary schools. Equipment should include pre-school to primary age children. Open and vandalproof designs would be preferred. The addition of any features that extend access to children with disabilities and impairments would be particularly welcome. Designs should consider retaining and or expanding on existing fitness equipment. There is scope to review the site of the play area if a compelling case is made for this.
