This procurement process is currently in the Tender stage, with a deadline for submissions set for 14 April 2022. The total contract value for this project is estimated at £90,000, while the minimum stipulation is £9,000. The procurement method employed is an open procedure that falls below the threshold. This opportunity presents a chance for businesses involved in the leisure and playground equipment industry to expand their portfolio and client base. Ideal candidates for this tender include SMEs that specialise in design, supply, and installation of playground equipment, safety surfacing, and landscaping services. The focus on inclusive play and innovative designs means that firms with a strong understanding of community needs and creative design solutions will have a competitive edge. Additionally, businesses that can demonstrate compliance with safety regulations and experience in similar projects would be well-positioned to bid for this contract. ## Notice Tendring District Council are seeking designs for the improvement of four separate play areas. Designs should complement the area with consideration of use of colour, type of material used, landscaping and the addition to the play value and variety of the park. Any new equipment is to be as inclusive as possible to allow children of all abilities to play together as well as being challenging to the age of children the site is designed for. All quotations should include design, supply, and fit of any new equipment including any safety surfacing requirements, planning permission requirements, removal of waste, surveying costs and any welfare facilities. A site visit is recommended especially for access requirements. Designs can include a scale plan of the area and a breakdown of costs. A description of the equipment and why it has been included in the design is beneficial. Bidders can bid on one or more of the play areas. Dates to complete the work will be discussed with bidders for each area. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/160ba888-f095-4090-b371-dbe637352699 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 31 Mar 2022 | | Submission deadline | 14 Apr 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 9 May 2022 - 9 May 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £90,000 | | 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 | ESSEX COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | CHELMSFORD | | Post town | Chelmsford | | Postcode | CM1 1QH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH3 Essex | | ITL 3 | TLH36 Heart of Essex | | Local authority | Chelmsford | | Electoral ward | Moulsham and Central | | Westminster constituency | Chelmsford | | Delivery location | TLJ South East (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 37 - Musical instruments, sport goods, games, toys, handicraft, art materials and accessories - 43 - Machinery for mining, quarrying, construction equipment - 45 - Construction work - 51 - Installation services (except software) - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services - 77 - Agricultural, forestry, horticultural, aquacultural and apicultural services - 92 - Recreational, cultural and sporting services ### Codes - 37416000 - Leisure equipment - 37440000 - Fitness equipments - 37535200 - Playground equipment - 37535220 - Playground climbing apparatus - 43325000 - Park and playground equipment - 45112711 - Landscaping work for parks - 45236210 - Flatwork for children's play area - 51121000 - Installation services of fitness equipment - 71240000 - Architectural, engineering and planning services - 77313000 - Parks maintenance services - 92000000 - Recreational, cultural and sporting services ## Release History - 31 Mar 2022 at 14:28 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/160ba888-f095-4090-b371-dbe637352699 - 15 Mar 2022 at 12:24 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/160ba888-f095-4090-b371-dbe637352699 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/160ba888-f095-4090-b371-dbe637352699 31st March 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/ff62a838-99ca-4307-b7a8-1a75a3db7f52 The value for each play area can be found in the Specification.
