The tender, titled "Play Areas - MacAndrews Field and Victoria Park Ivybridge," falls under the industry category of playground equipment and has a total value of £100,000. The tender is in the "open procedure" stage, with a tender period ending on June 30, 2023, and a contract period starting on August 4, 2023, and ending on March 31, 2024. This procurement opportunity presents a chance for businesses involved in the playground equipment sector to collaborate with Ivybridge Town Council and enhance play offerings in the local community. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are suitable bidders for this tender. The Council, located in Ivybridge, South Hams, aims to refurbish existing play equipment, provide new pieces, and improve the play areas at two designated sites to enrich the local play experiences. ## Notice Ivybridge Town Council is seeking to work in partnership with a playground provider for the design, supply and installation of play equipment at Victoria Park (PL21 0AQ) and MacAndrews Field (PL21 0JU) play parks in Ivybridge. Ivybridge is a town in the South Hams, with various play parks serving the town. The two existing play parks that are the subject of this tender opportunity are set in Victoria Park in the Planning Conservation area on the edge of the town centre, and MacAndrews Field a short distance away in a recreation field surrounded by housing estates. The existing play equipment at Victoria Park is set within a c.850sqm fenced area, itself part of a wider tree lined park. Within the immediate vicinity there is a primary school which uses the park (but not the play area). There is a small seating shelter and fixed tables to the northern edge of the play area. There is also a MUGA immediately adjacent as well as a fenced nature area. The play area includes some mature trees, stone features in the ground and a stone wall that should be incorporated into the design. Most of the existing play equipment at MacAndrews Field has recently been removed. A couple of belt ramps and mounded areas remain and could be incorporated. It is not a fenced in area and so the footprint, which is currently c.500 sqm should be expanded, but remain focussed in the north west corner so as not to encroach on other park uses eg the informal football field. The park is a grassed public open space surrounded on three sides by rear residential gardens and it gently slopes down to the road on the southern edge. The site includes trees - mature and newly planted - and moveable football goals. At the northern edge there is a special memorial area dedicated to the WWII history of the site. At the two Ivybridge sites the tender opportunity is for removal of pieces of play area equipment which are no longer fit for purpose, refurbish equipment where possible and the provision of new and additional pieces of play equipment and, where required surfacing, to improve and diversify the play offering to the local community. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a8275a70-bb9f-44e8-add6-86d4d65a7631 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 21 Jun 2023 | | Submission deadline | 30 Jun 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 3 Aug 2023 - 31 Mar 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £100,000 | | 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 | IVYBRIDGE TOWN COUNCIL | | Locality | IVYBRIDGE | | Post town | Plymouth | | Postcode | PL21 0SZ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK4 Devon | | ITL 3 | TLK43 Devon CC | | Local authority | South Hams | | Electoral ward | Ivybridge East | | Westminster constituency | South West Devon | | 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 - 21 Jun 2023 at 13:31 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a8275a70-bb9f-44e8-add6-86d4d65a7631 - 1 Jun 2023 at 16:10 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a8275a70-bb9f-44e8-add6-86d4d65a7631 - 24 May 2023 at 11:45 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a8275a70-bb9f-44e8-add6-86d4d65a7631 - 5 May 2023 at 09:50 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a8275a70-bb9f-44e8-add6-86d4d65a7631 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a8275a70-bb9f-44e8-add6-86d4d65a7631 21st June 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/c762213a-b762-4f0a-9c10-0fc0c5f501ce Includes specification, criteria and submission document - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/853d048c-050d-4fd0-8f07-e483ad797a0f Additional site information and illustrations - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/fe9f105d-eb1a-4ea1-8a54-f8292ee100ab Existing Play Area Inspection Document 1 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/0aae3d66-a888-413b-98ce-d127ab560303 Existing Play Area Inspection 2 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/a5ea0cb8-328a-424f-8bb9-d3abb6518103 Clarifications Email - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/270f2ece-71a2-4321-a586-68ba177d3e2c Initial clarifications after site visits complete - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/4b52dd55-3435-40dc-8b32-0ccf51d80927 ## Notice URLs - http://www.ivybridge.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
