Description

Brize Norton Parish Council (BNPC) has S106 funding to fully develop a new NEAP play area at Brize Meadow, Archer Place, Brize Norton, Oxfordshire, OX18 1NG. We are seeking an experienced company to design, project manage and build a new exciting, imaginative play area to include:
1) boundary fencing all round should be:
I. one side (approx. 58m of 3m high fencing in green to shield housing (vibration and reverberation reduction structure)
II. three sides (approx. 197m of 1.2m high galvanised 12mm gauge bow top fencing complete with post corner/end posts
III. one 1.2m wide 1.2m high self-closing gates and one 3m wide 1.2m high
combination gate
2) a MUGA, marked out for 5-a-side football and basketball
3) a sensory area
4) dedicated area of play with equipment for toddlers
5) dedicated area of play with equipment for juniors
6) a zip wire
7) Five-year maintenance plan

BNPC will be undertaking all the planting via a separate contractor.
We are looking to install equipment which is robust and durable.
The area is approximately 0.4 hectares and sits between a residential block of flats and the back of a retail area; opposite there is a site proposed for a new primary school. Consideration must be made to the residents that there is to be a buffer-zone from the activity zone to the boundary of the nearest residential property. BNPC has consulted with West Oxfordshire District Council and an agreement has been made that some of the 30m buffer-zone can be used for the sensory area and play equipment for the younger aged children.

The successful Contractor will need to have proven and demonstrated experience in similar projects in the Oxfordshire area and have a wide-ranging skill base to achieve the various elements of the contract, health & safety management and defect diagnosis and rectification. The supplier must be able to demonstrate an excellent Health and Safety record, accordingly suppliers that cannot demonstrate an excellent record, free from enforcement action, will not be considered.

Any initial questions relating to the project should be directed in writing/email to:

Cllr Wendy Way
Chair of Brize Norton Parish Council
