This project falls under the Recreational, Cultural and Sporting Services category and has a planned timeline that includes a tender period ending on June 25, 2021. The total value of the contract is estimated at £300,000, with a minimum bid threshold of £250,000. The initiative is in the open procurement stage, which aims to foster competition among suppliers, and will encompass works scheduled to commence on May 2, 2022, and expected completion by October 31, 2022. This opportunity could significantly benefit businesses in the construction and landscape design sectors, particularly those that specialise in recreational equipment and facilities. Companies capable of providing innovative design concepts, as well as those with experience in delivering projects within historical contexts, will be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. The project not only offers the chance to participate in a community-centred development but also encourages businesses to showcase their expertise in creating inclusive play environments for all ages. ## Notice Queries /Responses: By email to: accounts@wallingfordtowncouncil.gov.uk BACKGROUND You are invited to tender for a new play area for all ages on the Bull Croft in Wallingford, a historic Oxfordshire town on the banks of the river Thames. The historic town is situated roughly halfway between Reading to south, Oxford to north and Didcot to west. The designated site for the play area is on the Eastern side of the Bullcroft park, extending North of the fenced in MUGA and East of the existing pavilion. It must not extend beyond the Northern perimeter of the pavilion as the top end of the park is used for football pitches. The master plan for the site will include a new sports pavilion with a kiosk space and toilets that can be used by visitors to the park. We would like the toddler play area to be at the Northern end of the park site, nearest the pavilion cafe and toilets, and the equipment to go up in age as you move South through the play area, with the oldest children's equipment extending down to the MUGA fence line.
