The project involves designing, supplying, and installing play equipment and safer surfacing, alongside proactive maintenance scheduling. The procurement method is a direct single tender action, with a contract period starting on 8th January 2024 and ending on 29th March 2024. This opportunity to enhance play areas presents a chance for Play Manufacturing Companies to showcase their expertise in recreational, cultural, and sporting services. The tender is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and will involve a total contract value of £100,000 GBP. Businesses focusing on play equipment design and installation, alongside maintenance services, are well-suited to compete in this procurement stage. ## Notice Leighton Linslade Town Council is seeking to appoint a Play Manufacturing Company to design, supply, upgrade and install play equipment and safer surfacing to upgrade the Vandyke Road Play Area, the Derwent Road Play Area and the Mill Road Play Area in Leighton Buzzard and Linslade. The initial designs will inform the Town Council in upgrading and developing the play areas and may include additional equipment that Council may wish to consider in the future as part of its medium term and long term enhancement programme over the next ten years. The project will identify existing equipment and safer surfaces, propose new equipment to be installed, identify siting of new equipment, identify new safer surfacing required, recommend repairs to existing safer surfacing already in place and identify potential opportunities for the enhancement and improvement of each area in the medium and long term as part of an ongoing improvement programme. In addition, Tenderers will be required to outline a proactive repair and maintenance schedule to ensure that the Town Council understands its future liabilities. The tender requires the production of an overall design for each play area which should be in both hard copy and electronic format to enable the Town Council to upload the images onto its website and carry out a full public consultation with existing and potential new users. The designs should aim to complement the rest of the provision within the Town. The design should also include the production of an Access Plan for each site and all proposals must be both DDA compatible and focus on access for all. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/23b38c21-d918-4139-b863-4d64af359b85 | | 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 | 12 Oct 2023 | | Submission deadline | 27 Nov 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 8 Jan 2024 - 29 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 | LEIGHTON LINSLADE TOWN COUNCIL | | Locality | LEIGHTON BUZZARD | | Post town | Luton | | Postcode | LU7 1HD | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH2 Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire | | ITL 3 | TLH25 Central Bedfordshire | | Local authority | Central Bedfordshire | | Electoral ward | Leighton-Linslade North | | Westminster constituency | Dunstable and Leighton Buzzard | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 92 - Recreational, cultural and sporting services ### Codes - 92000000 - Recreational, cultural and sporting services ## Release History - 12 Oct 2023 at 13:06 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/23b38c21-d918-4139-b863-4d64af359b85 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/23b38c21-d918-4139-b863-4d64af359b85 12th October 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/8bb3b64a-a3d7-4b61-bb65-69a17a79ad88 Tender notice and description. - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/bd992fa7-25a9-4c6b-b8ad-85765ec71bc4 Tender notice and description (pdf) - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/09dd66b9-498d-4e4c-a008-d1c7c327c5d9 Derwent Road map - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/9af2c7f7-1b91-4197-8843-39c621417c5b Mill Road map - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/515537cd-ced9-4ce2-968b-b7dcaa1322cb Vandyke Road map - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/8e1cc015-2ffb-4981-a082-75849bebfd17 Derwent Road Inspection Report. - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/036ab062-e933-4fde-8b35-a4d1602de604 Mill Road Inspection Report. - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/08302d18-a35a-4d10-90b0-d6ce6aac9feb Vandyke Road Inspection Report - BMX - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/7b4c52f4-60c6-411e-a41e-84291a0713d1 Vandyke Road Inspection Report - Gym - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/2fa79872-49ac-4bc0-adcf-0ae3cd61fa51 Vandyke Road Inspection Report - Play Area ## Notice URLs - http://www.leightonlinslade-tc.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
