Specification of Works Gold Hill play area is a well-used playground located at the top of the village within our popular commons open space. The current playground consists mostly of ageing metal equipment with wet pour safety surfacing. Much of the equipment and surfacing is beginning to show signs of wear and is in need of replacement. Although the playground currently contains a wide range of equipment, it lacks a cohesive design and the Council is seeking to include more exciting play equipment that caters to children between 1 and 12 years of age. Equipment to be retained includes Slide (at the entrance) Multi-unit Swings (flat) 2 x Springy (possibly move it) Rocking horse Roundabout We would like to add a couple of multi-play units that are accessible for children younger children and those with disabilities. The challenge is to design a playground that caters to all age ranges with stimulating pieces that children are excited to use. Materials The Parish Council are willing to consider equipment made of different materials e.g. wood, plastic and metal pieces. However, due to the heavy use of the playground, equipment must be robust and vandal-proof. The Parish Council also wishes to include appropriate safety surfacing to deliver a cohesive play experience. Any specified material must be hardwearing and offer longevity and be cost effective. The Parish Council believes bonded rubber mulch would be a preferred option however, other options will be considered. Environmental Considerations The Parish Council are environmentally aware and is interested in reducing carbon emissions and mitigating its impact on the environment wherever possible. Applicants that can demonstrate environmentally friendly policies with regard to the manufacture, recycling and disposal of equipment will be looked on favourably. List of minimum play equipment required Cradle swings - two swings for younger children Basket swing - for all to use including those with disabilities Pre-school/Toddler multi-play unit - This piece should be exciting and challenging, aimed at children between 1-5 years old and should include some of the below - slide(s) walkways/bridges tubes/tunnels climbing wall/rope fireman's pole base area accessible to younger children/wheelchair users with interactive elements.

Options: It is envisaged that the project will finish by the end of March 2022 however, the Council are aware of the implications on businesses due to COVID and are sympathetic to the issues and will allow a small extension if required for this reason. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/025918-2022 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Competitive procedure with negotiation | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 15 Sep 2022 | | Submission deadline | 14 Oct 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £55,000 | | Lots value | £55,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | CHALFONT ST PETER PARISH COUNCIL | | Locality | GERRARDS CROSS | | Post town | Slough | | Postcode | SL9 9QX | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ1 Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire | | ITL 3 | TLJ13 Buckinghamshire | | Local authority | Buckinghamshire | | Electoral ward | Chalfont St Peter | | Westminster constituency | Chesham and Amersham | | Delivery location | TLJ South East (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 43 - Machinery for mining, quarrying, construction equipment ### Codes - 43325000 - Park and playground equipment ## Release History - 15 Sep 2022 at 11:22 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/025918-2022 ## Notice URLs - https://clerk@chalfontstpeter-pc.gov.uk - https://www.chalfontstpeter-pc.gov.uk - https://www.chalfontstpeter-pc.gov.uk/gold-hill-play-area-project/ - https://www.chalfontstpeter-pc.gov.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/95/2022/09/Gold-Hill-Invitation-to-tender-2022-Final.pdf ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
