## Summary

The Melbourn Parish Council is currently in the planning stage for the Nature Reserve Boardwalk Project, aimed at replacing the damaged wooden boardwalk in Stockbridge Meadows Nature Reserve, an area of ecological significance. The project falls under the category of Recreational, Cultural and Sporting Services and is located in Royston, England (SG8 6FG). Interested parties are encouraged to engage with the council before the engagement end date on 28 February 2022 to seek further information. Tender documents and technical specifications are available for download to provide additional insights into the project.

This tender presents a unique opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in construction and environmental services. As the project requires not only the construction of a new boardwalk but also the careful removal of the existing structure, businesses with experience in eco-sensitive practices would be particularly well-suited to compete. This procurement process allows for interested contractors to demonstrate their ability to align construction methods with environmental considerations, fostering growth and strengthening their portfolios.

## Notice

Melbourn Parish Council wishes to replace the damaged wooden boardwalk in Stockbridge Meadows Nature Reserve. This is an area of ecological importance and it is imperative that the boardwalk fits in the surroundings both in appearance and its effect on the environment both through construction and future use. As well as construction of the replacement boardwalk, the scope of this project will include sympathetic removal of the existing structure. A tender document with further detail is available to download. Also available are calculations prepared by structural engineers. Interested parties are invited to contact the Parish Council directly to seek further information.
