This project, valued at £300,000, falls under the 'works' industry category and is currently in the 'Tender' stage with a tender period closing on 12th June 2026. The procurement method is 'open', indicating a competitive procedure, and the award period is set to conclude by 10th July 2026. Located in the UKF region, the project seeks to replace outdated play equipment with a unique destination-standard facility, complementing the existing popular attractions like the Sparrowhawk play feature. The opportunity offers a significant avenue for growth for businesses specialising in bespoke play equipment, construction, and landscaping services. The open procedure allows for wide participation, and companies that can deliver high-quality, innovative outdoor installations are ideally positioned to benefit. Both SMEs and VCSEs are encouraged to participate. The contract emphasises technical quality, social value, and price, with considerable weighting given to non-price factors. Businesses demonstrating competence in delivering complex design-and-build projects, particularly those with experience in integrating recreational facilities with natural landscapes, will find this tender particularly aligned with their capabilities. ## Notice South Derbyshire District Council is seeking designs and proposals for the delivery of a bespoke, high quality and inclusive woodland themed play area at Rosliston Forestry Centre. The project replaces the existing equipment, excluding the popular play tractor and aims to create a unique destination-standard facility aligned with the National Forest setting. The supplier will be required to deliver a full design-and-build service, including: * Removal and disposal of existing play equipment (tractor retained unless a similar themed item with similar play value is proposed). * Design of a new bespoke woodland themed play area. * Construction, installation and commissioning of all new equipment. * Provision of all safety surfacing, hard and soft landscaping, footpaths and fencing. * Integration with the surrounding landscape, ensuring links to the picnic area and Sparrowhawk feature. ### Planning Information South Derbyshire District Council is seeking Expressions of Interest for an exciting new design & build project to provide a spectacular new play area for Rosliston Forestry Centre.
