## Notice

The Employer wishes to enter into a contract for the installation of four new and improved playgrounds at different locations within the South and East of Cambridge. The 2015-2018 Play Investment Strategy has provided Cambridge City Council with a comprehensive review of all the play area provisions within the City of Cambridge, as a result of which, a number were identified as giving poor to very poor play value. Four specific play areas have been identified in this tranche of works that require full re-design and replacement. Two are in the South of the City at Tenby Close and Gunhild Close, and two are in the East at, Coldhams Lane and Lichfield Road.
