The project aims to modernise existing play facilities for children aged up to 12, with an estimated contract value of £75,000. The tender, identified as WPCGRG/RFQ/2020, is in the planning stage, and submissions are due by 15 February 2021. The works will commence on 5 April 2021 and are expected to complete by 7 June 2021. Interested parties are encouraged to contact the Clerk for detailed bidding documents. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in playground equipment installation, landscaping, and general construction services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly well-suited to compete due to the selective procurement method employed, which allows for proposals covering all or individual elements of the project, including play area equipment, fencing, and surfacing. Businesses that can offer innovative design modifications or sustainable materials are likely to stand out in this competitive process. ## Notice Withyham Parish Council has existing fenced play facilities for children up to 12 years old at Groombridge Recreation Ground. The facilities have been in situ for many years and, although well maintained, are dated by today's standards. An architect has designed a concept which utilises high fencing like ramparts, with equipment contained within the fenced areas. The initial design illustrated the concept of the design as being like a fort and showed play equipment within. The upper level could allow us to incorporate, for example, a slide, swing and climbing net attached to the structure. Activities for smaller children would be towards the middle of the palisade. We would welcome suggestions for any improvements and modifications to the design in order to achieve the best possible project. The fencing has received planning permission from Wealden District Council WD/2019/2359/F. During consultation on this application, some members of the public raised concerns about being able to see in or out of the play area so we would be happy to receive tenders containing modifications that had lower elements facing towards the recreation ground, and/or more open boarding to the fencing all the way round. We believe that the most appropriate form of surfacing would be wet pour or bonded mulch in a single, natural colour in order to fit with the natural environment. The Request for Quotation (RFQ) seeks submissions for the replacement as described above of: 1. Play area equipment 2. Fencing 3. Surfacing Contractors may quote for all or one or two elements. To apply please contact the Clerk at Withyham Parish Council for the full Request for Quotation paperwork, which describes how to apply, clerk@withyhamparishcouncil.org.uk. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f2f0918b-2300-4ecf-a4e8-e090cec929c4 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Competitive procedure with negotiation (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 10 Dec 2020 | | Submission deadline | 15 Feb 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 4 Apr 2021 - 7 Jun 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £75,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | WITHYHAM PARISH COUNCIL | | Locality | GROOMBRIDGE | | Post town | Tonbridge | | Postcode | TN3 9RD | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ2 Surrey, East and West Sussex | | ITL 3 | TLJ22 East Sussex CC | | Local authority | Wealden | | Electoral ward | Withyham | | Westminster constituency | Sussex Weald | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 92 - Recreational, cultural and sporting services ### Codes - 92000000 - Recreational, cultural and sporting services ## Release History - 10 Dec 2020 at 14:34 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f2f0918b-2300-4ecf-a4e8-e090cec929c4 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f2f0918b-2300-4ecf-a4e8-e090cec929c4 10th December 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/405f9997-5cbe-4033-8830-fccb23c0c820 Request for quotation - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/e84b2e2b-a384-4452-a3f6-d0e03946c4a4 Appendix - specific requirements - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/d778ecb0-4019-4c80-8614-e876dd0bf674 Architect Plans - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/eb56b045-add0-48bc-8ed1-8f8a6851937a Appendix - General Requirements - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/e1108922-5611-47e4-9522-26472265ff8a Appendix - Contractual T&Cs ## Notice URLs - https://www.withyhamparishcouncil.org.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
