This project to provide a Multi-Use Games Area, play area and outdoor gym equipment meets those objectives.

The facilities sought within this tender are intended to build on the formal sports provision at the site, to offer a range of casual sport and physical activity facilities and opportunities for a wide age range. The gym equipment and MUGA are aimed at older teenagers and adults; while the play area should cater for children from 6-10+years with an emphasis on challenge and innovation.

The contract is split into five Lots; multiple bids are accepted:
