The successful contractor will be responsible for the turnkey delivery of the project, including: * Site Preparation: Safe dismantling, removal, and environmentally responsible disposal of all existing playground equipment and the current nature trail. * Surfacing: Removal of existing safety surfacing and installation of a new, durable, compliant, and low-maintenance safety surface (e.g., wet pour, bonded mulch, or smart hybrid surfacing) that meets all BS EN 1176/1177 standards. * Play Equipment Installation: Supply and installation of new play equipment catering to a wide range of ages and abilities. * Nature Trail: Complete redesign and replacement of the nature trail to foster sensory and environmental engagement - it does not need to be another nature trail. * (Optional) The Zip Wire: Replacement of the existing zip wire located adjacent to the main playground on a like-for-like basis (or enhanced equivalent), ensuring it remains a robust attraction for older children. 3. Design & Play Requirements Target Demographics The playground must provide distinct yet beautifully integrated play zones that cater one primary age group, while maintaining overall inclusivity: * Toddler & Junior (Ages 2-12 years): The core playground area must maximize play value, offering physical, sensory, social, and imaginative play opportunities. * (Optional) Teens (Up to 16 years): The zip wire area must be designed to withstand heavy use and continue providing dynamic play value for older youth. Key Design Principles * Inclusivity: The design must look beyond minimum accessibility. We require a space where children with physical, neurodivergent, or sensory disabilities can play alongside their peers. * Play Value: High density of play features per square meter (e.g., climbing, balancing, swinging, sliding, tactile panels, and roleplay elements). * Biodiversity & Integration: The new nature trail should seamlessly blend into the recreation ground, utilizing natural materials where appropriate to encourage exploration of local flora and fauna. * Value of money: The project must provide value for money Budget & Financial Framework * Core Proposed Budget: PS80,000 (inclusive of all plant, labour, materials, waste disposal, and post-installation certification). * Budget Flexibility: The Council recognizes that delivering exceptional inclusivity or uniquely high play value may require additional investment. Bidders are encouraged to submit a baseline design matching the PS80k budget, but may present a fully costed add-on case illustrating what specific additional funds would deliver and how it maximizes the return on investment for the community submissions are to be emailed to deputyclerk@hazlemereparishcouncil.gov.uk by noon on 1st September 2026. Interested parties must attend a site visit. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b0a8c3bb-8e3e-4f5e-b738-b5b8f3ca421e | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 21 Jul 2026 | | Submission deadline | 1 Sep 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 29 Sep 2026 - 30 Oct 2026 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £80,000 | | 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 | HAZLEMERE PARISH COUNCIL | | Locality | HIGH WYCOMBE | | Post town | Hemel Hempstead | | Postcode | HP15 7BQ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ1 Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire | | ITL 3 | TLJ13 Buckinghamshire | | Local authority | Buckinghamshire | | Electoral ward | Hazlemere | | Westminster constituency | Chesham and Amersham | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 37 - Musical instruments, sport goods, games, toys, handicraft, art materials and accessories ### Codes - 37535200 - Playground equipment ## Release History - 21 Jul 2026 at 12:21 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b0a8c3bb-8e3e-4f5e-b738-b5b8f3ca421e ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b0a8c3bb-8e3e-4f5e-b738-b5b8f3ca421e 21st July 2026 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/5c4006fc-4be7-4625-b0df-01313eeec87a ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
