## Summary

The Christchurch and East Dorset Council has successfully completed a tender for the "Decommission of 9 Play Parks" project, which falls under the construction industry category. This procurement, valued at £65,000, was conducted using an open procedure and reached its tender period deadline on 29th November 2018. The contract commenced on 1st February 2019 and is set to conclude on 31st January 2020. The works primarily involve the removal and disposal of play structures from specific parks located in the South West region of England.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses involved in construction and decommissioning services, particularly those specialising in playground equipment removal and land restoration. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) would find themselves well-positioned to compete for similar contracts, as the tender process is accessible to them. Companies that can demonstrate expertise in sustainable disposal and site reinstatement will likely enhance their prospects for winning future contracts with local councils and other public authorities.

## Notice

Christchurch Borough Council currently has 28 Play areas. The outcome of a recent review has resulted in the Council looking to rationalise its offer by closing smaller sites that are underused, offer minimal play value and have reached end of life. Christchurch Borough Council is looking to decommission 9 of the existing 28 Play areas, this will entail removal and disposal of all play structures, associated furniture, safety surfacing, access gates, site signage and bins. The sites will be reinstated to amenity grassland or equivalent.
