This project falls under the Landscaping work for parks industry category. The procurement stage is currently active, with a tender deadline of 16th August 2024. The project, valued at £70,000, is being carried out through a direct procurement method with a Single tender action (below threshold) approach. The contract period is scheduled to start on 7th October 2024 and end on 29th November 2024, providing opportunities for businesses interested in enhancement work in public spaces within the SP8 4AA postal code area. This tender by the Gillingham Town Council offers a lucrative opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialize in landscaping and infrastructure development. Businesses focusing on creating outdoor community spaces, installing drainage systems, and enhancing accessibility paths are well-suited to compete. The project aims to transform the Town Meadow into a vibrant hub for events, creating economic opportunities and fostering community engagement. Interested parties can find further details and apply through the council's website. ## Notice Gillingham Town Council would like to make improvements to the Town Meadow in the centre of Gillingham in order to accommodate more groups, organisations and businesses who wish to hold events, such as craft markets and plant sales; which in turn will help to increase footfall in the High Street and help to strengthen and improve the economy. The area needs proper drainage as during the wetter months the area is muddy and cannot be used. The proposal is to install grass paving grids (also known as grasscrete) which will provide a hard surface suitable for commercial vehicles, improve the drainage and allow events to be held throughout the year. The Town Meadow provides important pedestrian links between the High Street and the Library, the Museum, the Community Office, public car park, and onwards to the Railway Station. The project includes improvements and enhancements of these important pedestrian routes. Accessibility paths will be constructed to allow easy access for wheelchair users. The existing hard surfaced areas will be edged and improved, and benches and flower planters will be installed to create an area which is aesthetically pleasing and welcoming to all. The proposed improvements will result in a safe outdoor community space for use by residents and visitors to the town and for community events and gatherings.
