This project, categorised under construction work (CPV 45000000), is set to enhance the playground for children aged 1 to 11 years in Farnham, Surrey. The awarded contract, valued at approximately £199,180.67, was granted to Eibe Play Ltd. The procurement followed an open procedure above the threshold, with relevant tenders submitted by 18th December 2024. The project's execution is planned in two phases, starting in spring/summer 2025 and concluding by December 2026, to ensure minimal disruption and organised implementation of the new playground equipment and surface. This tender opens significant business growth opportunities for experienced construction companies, particularly those specialising in playground refurbishments and adhering to British Standards 1176 and 1177. SMEs, especially those with relevant certifications (CHAS, API, ROSPA, Construction Line), will find this tender well-suited to their capabilities. The project demands high-quality, inclusive, and durable play equipment aligning with modern standards, thus offering a chance to showcase innovative designs and robust construction solutions. Furthermore, contractors will benefit from the structured phasing of the project ensuring clear timelines and phased deliverables, making it an attractive prospect for businesses looking to expand their portfolio within public sector projects. ## Notice The Council is currently seeking to appoint an experienced and qualified contractor to refurbish and enhance the playground at Gostrey Meadow. The playground is for children from 1 year to 11 years old and play equipment needs to provide interest across these ages. The new area will be 800 sq metres with a fence surrounding the playground and including an area of seating within the fenced area. The Council wishes to install modern, high quality and accessible friendly equipment to ensure that the play is inclusive for all children and an asset to the local community. Farnham Town Council would welcome ideas and recommendations for the site. Seating (both picnic and benches) areas are to be incorporated in the design. Soft landscaping areas to be included. The clearance of the existing site and equipment would need to be carried out by the contractor. To ensure all the surfacing materials used are designed, manufactured and installed to a current British Standards 1176 and 1177. Approved members of CHAS, API, ROSPA and Construction Line.
