## Summary

The Cambridgeshire District Councils are seeking contractors for the installation of four new playgrounds in various locations within South and East Cambridge, as part of their 2015-2018 Play Investment Strategy. This open tender, titled "Cambridge City Council - Playground installation," was published on 15th June 2018 and has an estimated value of £225,000. The tender period concludes on 13th July 2018, with the contract expected to commence on 1st August 2018 and run until 21st January 2019. This project falls under the construction industry category and is specifically classified as construction work, with a focus on works procurement. The locations include Tenby Close and Gunhild Close in the south, and Coldhams Lane and Lichfield Road in the east of Cambridge.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in construction and playground installation. Companies that provide innovative playground designs, materials, and installation services would be particularly well-suited to submit proposals. Engaging in this project allows businesses to not only expand their portfolio but also contribute to enhancing community facilities in the East of England. With the project being initiated by a local authority, reliable delivery and compliance with public sector standards will be key factors in the selection process for bidders.

## Notice

The Employer wishes to enter into a contract for the installation of four new and improved playgrounds at different locations within the South and East of Cambridge. The 2015-2018 Play Investment Strategy has provided Cambridge City Council with a comprehensive review of all the play area provisions within the City of Cambridge, as a result of which, a number were identified as giving poor to very poor play value. Four specific play areas have been identified in this tranche of works that require full re-design and replacement. Two are in the South of the City at Tenby Close and Gunhild Close, and two are in the East at, Coldhams Lane and Lichfield Road.
