The Diana Princess of Wales Memorial Playground is a two-year project that will invest PS2 million into the refurbishment and play improvement of the site. This tender consists of one Work Package (WP) with two lots. The intention is to appoint a design and build supplier for the removal of the existing structures, and the design, manufacture, and installation of replacement of two large pieces of play equipment, the Galleon (Lot 1) and the Tree House Encampment (Lot 2) at the Diana Princess of Wales Memorial Playground (DPWMP) in Kensington Gardens. Dependant on a successful outcome, TRP After more than 20 years the current installations are reaching the end of its anticipated lifespan. This brief will form part of an open invitation to specialists in the design and manufacture of play equipment to develop costed proposals for the replacement of the existing structures. The supplier will provide a sustainable solution to the decommissioning and removal of the existing structures working with TRP for its post life recycling/ repurposing. TRP will not consider its reuse as play equipment. The resultant design proposal must be true to the Peter Pan story, demonstrate design excellence, and respond to the character of the playground and Kensington Gardens as a whole respecting the Royal Park setting . The replacement features must be completed before the end of February 2025, however, TRP will be looking to complete the procurement as early as possible to allow maximum time for the design and build process and sign-off. (TRP intends to award WP1 by December 2023 subject to approval and a successful outcome) This is to ensure RIBA Stage 3 will be reached by April '24 to submit a planning application with sufficient time for determination before construction commences. The proposed contract term for WP1 is a 15-month period for design, manufacture, and onsite installation, with an added 5-year maintenance contract. The maintenance contract would then be renewed on a 5-year ongoing contract subject to regulations. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0b5531b4-e23c-4bab-93aa-e3400f0b299d | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Negotiated procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 15 Aug 2023 | | Submission deadline | 29 Aug 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 8 Jan 2024 - 30 Jan 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £5,000,000 | | 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 | THE ROYAL PARKS | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | West London | | Postcode | W2 2UH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | Hyde Park | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 37 - Musical instruments, sport goods, games, toys, handicraft, art materials and accessories - 50 - Repair and maintenance services ### Codes - 37535200 - Playground equipment - 50870000 - Repair and maintenance services of playground equipment ## Release History - 15 Aug 2023 at 15:00 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0b5531b4-e23c-4bab-93aa-e3400f0b299d ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0b5531b4-e23c-4bab-93aa-e3400f0b299d 15th August 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-GB-London:-Diana-Prince-of-Wales-Memorial-Playground-Design-&-Build/ZC6FHJ5CN9 Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
