The project aims to enhance physical activity in children and families by creating a play environment reflecting the waterworks and industrial heritage of the park. The tender, worth up to £35,000, falls under the construction materials and associated items category. The deadline for tender submissions is 13th May 2024, with the contract period starting on 24th May 2024 and ending on 3rd October 2024. This tender presents an opportunity for businesses in the works category, specifically those involved in construction materials, installation services, entertainment, and sporting services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate. Businesses with expertise in creating visually attractive and historically themed play features for children aged 3 to 12 years would be well-suited to compete. The direct procurement method with a single tender action process is being used, indicating a streamlined selection process for interested bidders. ## Notice We are inviting quotations up to a maximum of PS35,000 for the supply and installation of new play features in the Filter Bed play area at Sywell Country Park. The project's aim is to increase physical activity in children and families by encouraging them to move and interact together in play environment that strongly reflects the waterworks and industrial heritage of the park. We are looking for a contractor to add to the current play value in the sand area of the filter bed play space. We intend to keep the two swing structures in their current position. However, both the digger and springer can be repositioned by the contractor if necessary. Location can be agreed with the Senior Ranger during the contractor site visit prior to submission of this bid. If necessary, the existing spinner and kingfisher sculpture can be removed completely as part the works. We want the play features to be eye catching, unique, visually attractive and to reflect the historical industrial heritage of Sywell Country Park. Your offer should provide good imaginative, inclusive and active play value to help us create a play area where families with children (indicative ages 3 to 12 years) can explore the heritage of the park through play. Please note we are planning to hold a contractor's question session at the park between 9.30am - 4pm on Friday 12th April 2024. We strongly urge you to attend as it will provide all bidders with a chance to view the site and talk to us about what we are looking to achieve from this more unusual project. Please email geoff.simons@northnorthants.gov.uk to pre-book your appointment. Should you wish to take part in the selection process please complete this RFQ and pricing schedule and return via e-mail to rebecca.jenkins@northnorthants.gov.uk. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/13f3e3bc-e475-41ac-888d-856dd3347081 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Direct | | Procurement method details | Single tender action (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 25 Mar 2024 | | Submission deadline | 13 May 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 23 May 2024 - 3 Oct 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £35,000 | | 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 | NORTH NORTHAMPTONSHIRE COUNCIL | | Locality | NORTHAMPTON | | Post town | Northampton | | Postcode | NN6 0QX | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF2 Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire | | ITL 3 | TLF25 North Northamptonshire | | Local authority | North Northamptonshire | | Electoral ward | Earls Barton | | Westminster constituency | Daventry | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 44 - Construction structures and materials; auxiliary products to construction (except electric apparatus) - 45 - Construction work - 51 - Installation services (except software) - 92 - Recreational, cultural and sporting services - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 44100000 - Construction materials and associated items - 44400000 - Miscellaneous fabricated products and related items - 44500000 - Tools, locks, keys, hinges, fasteners, chain and springs - 44800000 - Paints, varnishes and mastics - 45000000 - Construction work - 51000000 - Installation services (except software) - 92300000 - Entertainment services - 92600000 - Sporting services - 98000000 - Other community, social and personal services ## Release History - 25 Mar 2024 at 10:44 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/13f3e3bc-e475-41ac-888d-856dd3347081 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/13f3e3bc-e475-41ac-888d-856dd3347081 25th March 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/ecce18ca-4ecd-4da5-ad7b-c8b52c3ab019 Request for Quotation for a new play installation in the Filter Bed area in Sywell Country Park, Northamptonshire. - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/3bdfe03a-cd76-4d8f-a52b-cdac7c2edfa9 Appendix 1 Draft Contract - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/a180f902-4e47-4542-96fb-37db6116f836 Appendix 3 Pricing Schedule ## Notice URLs - https://www.northnorthants.gov.uk/sywell-country-park ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
