The procurement process is at the Tender stage, with submissions due by 31st August 2018. The project aims for the facility to be operational by October 2018, ideally before the school summer holidays of 2019. Bidders should provide detailed cost estimates including optional features, as well as ongoing revenue cost projections for water and maintenance. This procurement opportunity presents significant potential for growth for businesses specialising in park infrastructure, water feature installations, and playground equipment. Companies experienced in landscaping, water-sports facilities construction, and those providing sustainable design options, such as grey water recycling systems, would be particularly well-suited to compete. The project emphasises accessibility and innovation, making it attractive for SMEs looking to expand their portfolio in public works projects. ## Notice Melksham Town Council invites companies to supply competitive quotes for the supply of the following: a water Splashpad facility/zone for its King George V Park, in Melksham. - All bids should include separate costs for the additional pathway and paved area outside the Pavilion leading past the Splashpad to the existing pathway on the left-hand side of the drawings. - The area will be segregated from the remainder of the park, and the adjacent proposed play area by bow top fencing. A bid showing this fencing as an optional inclusion would be welcome. - The splashpad area will measure an area of approximately 120m2, although the exact size will clearly be dictated by the designs and costs submitted. - It is likely due to project costs, the Splashpad surface will be concrete, though the views of your company, and options for alternatives would be appreciated. - The Splashpad will have surface mounted water jets, and some above ground water features. It is hoped that any design would incorporate these features in a fully accessible way to accommodate the needs of the wider population including those with disabilities. Costs may restrain the number of features, especially those above ground. - The Town Council have fully considered a full recirculation system (i.e. with filters and chemical doing), a 'once used' or through system (i.e. water in and down the drain), and also a 'Once Used' system with combined grey water recycling tank thus allowing water to be used elsewhere (irrigation of plants). The Town Councils preference is for a 'once used' system with the addition of a grey water recycling tank. It is understood that a grey water tank of 10,000 litres is required together with a bowser take off point (pump as necessary). The preference is for the tank to be situated below ground although the Town Council welcomes the view and guidance of specialist design companies on such technical requirements and matters. - In addition to the capital cost to install the facility, ongoing revenue costs are required (i.e. water, chemical, electricity). - In terms of timescales, the Councils aim is for the facility to be operational in time for potentially Easter 2019 but certainly the start of the school summer holidays 2019. - Designs and installation costs must also include projected annual revenue costs (for a typical season 12weeks opening) plus costs associated with any pre-season and post-season maintenance work (i.e. annual maintenance requirements). ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/29dc86ec-114e-4778-afd4-5a7ef3570cfe | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 21 Aug 2018 | | Submission deadline | 14 Sep 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Oct 2018 - 2 Oct 2019 | | 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 | MELKSHAM TOWN COUNCIL | | Locality | MELKSHAM | | Post town | Swindon | | Postcode | SN12 6ES | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK7 Gloucestershire and Wiltshire | | ITL 3 | TLK72 Wiltshire | | Local authority | Wiltshire | | Electoral ward | Melksham South | | Westminster constituency | Melksham and Devizes | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 43 - Machinery for mining, quarrying, construction equipment - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 43325000 - Park and playground equipment - 45112723 - Landscaping work for playgrounds - 45242100 - Water-sports facilities construction work ## Release History - 21 Aug 2018 at 08:26 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/29dc86ec-114e-4778-afd4-5a7ef3570cfe - 3 Aug 2018 at 08:39 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/29dc86ec-114e-4778-afd4-5a7ef3570cfe ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/29dc86ec-114e-4778-afd4-5a7ef3570cfe 21st August 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/1969577c-b613-4bc6-a8dd-2854dd663727 Full Tender Specification ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
