New junior & toddler multiplay units, carousel & seesaw will be supplied by Eibe Play & new swings will be supplied by Kompan. We are looking for a contractor to undertake the play equipment installation and surfacing works to include the following:

• Removal & disposal of existing play equipment, carpet safety surfacing, fencing sections, gates & some seats
• Excavation of grass area
• Excavations for footings for new play equipment & items
• Installation of play equipment
• Installing/laying new Impact Absorbing Surface (IAS)
• New gates & sections of fencing
• New rock seating
