Please see the full tender documents for further details ### Lot Information New play zone - Area 1 (Lot 1) Area 1 - Replacement play zone TThe play area was built in 2000, with the current equipment was installed in 2011. Although the play area is well-used, the equipment is dated and limited. The colours are overly muted, and it does not appear as an attractive destination for play. A replacement play zone is required for this area which is inclusive and accessible, provides interest and challenge for all, and helps to develop character in the town centre. Replacement bandstand (subject to Council approval) - Lot 2 (Area B) The existing bandstand is a key feature within West Street and is regularly the focal space for community events. However, the bandstand looks dated, and the structural timbers supporting the canopy significantly restricts the space beneath, limiting opportunities for performance and events. * Replacement bandstand. * Incorporation of additional new seating (in conjunction with Lot 3). * Installation of bandstand and seating (responsibility of selected contractor or FBC) Public realm improvements - Lot 3 Public realm improvements - Lot 3 comprising: - Seating and planting incorporating existing sculpture (Area C) - Seating area in shopping centre (subject to Council approval) (Area D) - Seating at Harper Way (Area E) ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/044992-2025 | | Notice type | UK4 - Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning, Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 31 Jul 2025 | | Submission deadline | 10 Sep 2025 | | Future notice date | 1 Aug 2025 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 15 Oct 2025 - 31 May 2026 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £400,000 | | Lots value | £400,000 | | 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 | FAREHAM BOROUGH COUNCIL | | Locality | FAREHAM | | Post town | Portsmouth | | Postcode | PO16 7AZ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ3 Hampshire and Isle of Wight | | ITL 3 | TLJ35 South Hampshire | | Local authority | Fareham | | Electoral ward | Fareham Town | | Westminster constituency | Fareham and Waterlooville | | Delivery location | TLJ3 Hampshire and Isle of Wight, TLJ31 Portsmouth | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 03 - Agricultural, farming, fishing, forestry and related products - 37 - Musical instruments, sport goods, games, toys, handicraft, art materials and accessories - 39 - Furniture (incl. office furniture), furnishings, domestic appliances (excl. lighting) and cleaning products - 45 - Construction work - 92 - Recreational, cultural and sporting services ### Codes - 03121100 - Live plants, bulbs, roots, cuttings and slips - 37535200 - Playground equipment - 37535210 - Playground swings - 37535220 - Playground climbing apparatus - 39112100 - Dining chairs - 39113300 - Bench seats - 39113600 - Benches - 45212320 - Construction work for buildings relating to artistic performances - 45233293 - Installation of street furniture - 45236210 - Flatwork for children's play area - 92312230 - Services provided by sculptors ## Release History - 31 Jul 2025 at 18:08 - TenderUpdate - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/044992-2025 - 31 Jul 2025 at 15:40 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/044915-2025 - 31 Jul 2025 at 15:14 - Planning - UK3 - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/044895-2025 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/044992-2025 31st July 2025 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/044915-2025 31st July 2025 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/044895-2025 31st July 2025 - Planned procurement notice on Find a Tender - https://sebp.due-north.com/ South East Business Portal (SEBP) - Proactis ## Notice URLs - http://www.fareham.gov.uk - https://sebp.due-north.com/-Proactis - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
