The budget for this tender is £150k, and the procurement method is a limited Competitive quotation (below threshold). This tender presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in works related to playground equipment to compete.

Businesses with expertise in designing and installing playground equipment that complies with British and European Standards, and have environmentally friendly policies, will find this tender suitable for growth and development. ## Notice Works and Standards The work is for the design and installation of Hervines Park play area. This includes the supply and installation of appropriate groundworks, safety surfacing, play equipment, fencing and signage. It is proposed the play area will be a new installation away from the existing installation therefore no removal is required. All works should comply to the British and European Standard for playground equipment BS EN 1176 and surfacing BS EN 1177. The contractor will be responsible for organising an independent post-installation inspection and rectifying any issues identified at their own cost. The Town Council will not accept hand over of the area until identified issues are rectified. SPECIFICATION OF WORKS Hervines Park play area was a well-used playground located out of the main town. The current playground now consists mostly of ageing failed metal/plastic equipment, lacks play value and is not accessible to all. The new play area will be moved from the existing site and can be increased to a max size of 40m x 20m. The overall feel of the playarea should reflect its surroundings and have a softer natural appearance. The Town Council is seeking to include play equipment with higher play values that is inclusive and accessible to all. Previous consultation shows a desire for equipment to cater mainly for children between 1 and 7 years with additional equipment for up to 12 years. The Town Council is keen to include a good number of picnic areas which should be positioned close and within good sight of the younger age equipment. Play equipment must all be linked with all-weather paths with grass areas between re-enforced with stabilization mesh. An tarmac access path needs to be provided from the driveway/car park to the site and to the old playarea. The site should be fenced with three pedestrian gates and a double gate for vehicle access. Following public consultation, the equipment we would like included in the Hervines Park play area should include but not be limited to: Multi-plays Swings -basket or regular Springers Roundabout See saw Activity/role play for younger children Trampoline Slides/tunnels No zip wires are to be included. Budget The budget for the playarea is PS150k, which must not be exceeded. Materials The Parish Council are willing to consider equipment made of different materials e.g. wood, plastic and steel pieces. However, due to the heavy use of the playground, equipment must be robust and vandal-proof. Design Considerations The equipment proposed must not be over 4 metres high to comply with planning restrictions. Environmental Considerations The Town Council are environmentally aware and is interested in reducing carbon emissions and mitigating its impact on the environment wherever possible. Applicants that can demonstrate environmentally friendly policies regarding the manufacture, recycling and disposal of equipment will be looked on favourably. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e9c6824e-f203-49b3-a4b7-0a953220bbeb | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Competitive quotation (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 28 May 2024 | | Submission deadline | 3 Jul 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 28 Mar 2025 - 23 May 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £150,000 | | 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 | AMERSHAM TOWN COUNCIL | | Locality | AMERSHAM | | Post town | Hemel Hempstead | | Postcode | HP7 0DB | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ1 Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire | | ITL 3 | TLJ13 Buckinghamshire | | Local authority | Buckinghamshire | | Electoral ward | Penn Wood and Old Amersham | | Westminster constituency | Chesham and Amersham | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 37 - Musical instruments, sport goods, games, toys, handicraft, art materials and accessories ### Codes - 37535200 - Playground equipment ## Release History - 28 May 2024 at 13:44 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e9c6824e-f203-49b3-a4b7-0a953220bbeb ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e9c6824e-f203-49b3-a4b7-0a953220bbeb 28th May 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/088a38a4-af8d-45fa-b547-5fbc77c4f685 ## Notice URLs - http://www.amersham-tc.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
