## Summary

The Coventry City Council is seeking to replace the play areas at Coombe Abbey Park, categorised under "Playground equipment" within the works industry. The procurement process, which has reached the Award stage, involved an open tender method. The contract, valued at £600,000, commenced on 6th December 2020 and is set to conclude on 31st March 2022. Key contact for this procurement is Sheree Wesson, reachable via email at Sheree.Wesson@coventry.gov.uk, and the delivery location is in Coventry, West Midlands (postcode CV1 2GN).

This project presents significant opportunities for businesses specialised in playground construction, landscaping work, and the repair and maintenance of playground equipment. Companies focusing on innovative play solutions or those with expertise in designing for children aged 4 to 13, can benefit from this contract. As the equipment within the existing play areas is reaching the end of its service life, there is a pressing demand for modern, durable, and engaging play structures, making this a competitive and lucrative bid for qualified suppliers.

## Notice

Coventry City Council are seeking to replace two existing play areas at Coombe Abbey Park. One play area is adjacent to the park's visitors centre and the second in the wooded area near Top Pool Lodge, this play area is known as the Climbing Forest (see Appendix A for site plan and site images). The largest play area (located adjacent to the visitor centre) contains a range of individual play items designed to accommodate children aged 4 - 7 years and 8 - 13 years old. The play items include swings, modular climbing units, slides and a basket swing. The play area was constructed in 2004 and much of the equipment is now reaching the end of it's economic life. Throughout the year there are regularly periods when the play area is closed off to the public due to repair requirements and /or maintenance issues. The second area is located within the Country Park adjacent to the woodland area in Wartrums field near Top Pool Lodge. The facility was built in 2006 and consists of a range of timber constructed items of equipment including spiders web, hammock, climbing rope and balance beams. Although popular, this facility offers limited opportunity and could benefit greatly from being enhanced to further increase the play value providing a range of challenging and exciting experiences.
