## Summary

The procurement process involved Reading Borough Council, which sought bids for the installation of an outdoor gym at Long Barn Lane Recreation Ground in Reading, England.

## Notice

Long Barn Lane Recreation Ground is a neighbourhood park (3.29 hectares) situated to the south of Reading's town centre in Katesgrove Ward. It is surrounded by housing on all sides and despite it being primarily used as a through-route, it is popular with local residents. The park provides a number of sporting and recreational activities including a BMX track (due to be refurbished in 2020), multi-use games wall with tarmac surface for football, basketball and cricket, a small (fenced) children's play area for toddlers along with a limited selection of items of unfenced play equipment for children over 8 years of age. The recreation ground serves a population of higher than average deprivation and higher than average levels of anti-social behaviour. To support more constructive use of the site and encourage active participation in physical activity all year round, Reading Borough Council is seeking to install a new outdoor gym. This was a closed quick quote tender where suppliers were invited to apply via RBCs In-Tend e-tendering system
