Description

Didcot Town Council invite you to quote for the construction and installation of new Teen Play Provisions in Edmonds Park, Park Road, Didcot, Oxfordshire, OX11 8RF.

Tenders are invited from suitably qualified contractors, to construct new Teen Play Provision in Edmonds Park, Didcot, Oxon, OX11 8RF.

SPECIFICATION OF WORKS

The 'teen area' in Edmonds Park needs additional equipment to ensure the youths of the town can continue to benefit from cognitive, physical, social, and emotional wellbeing, through play. It is hoped that new equipment will create fun, inclusive, and interactive environments that encourage positive social interaction. Currently the equipment in the teen area is positioned in bark chip.
Historically there used to be a large timber framed climbing frame, with ropes for teens to enjoy. However, the ropes have been removed and it is now time for the equipment to be replaced with something new and exciting.

Companies are asked to submit their own design for the provision, whether this be one piece of equipment, or numerous smaller items. Didcot Town Council are open to suggestions but would like the new teen play facility to fresh and exciting.
Didcot Town Council has a budget of £50,000 for this project and would prefer metal equipment over wooden.

However, this project needs to ensure full compliance with all Playground Regulations - specifically EN1176, and BS7188 and EN1177 for surfacing.
Didcot Town Council prefer to work with companies who sources their equipment from the United Kingdom, so there are less issues with delays for replacement parts.

Responses to be received in confidence, no later than noon on 15th April 2024 marked for the attention of Mike Blake, the Outdoor Services Manager, Didcot Town Council Offices, Britwell Road, Didcot, Oxon, OX11 7HN, or by email to mblake@didcot.gov.uk with the password being sent to jwheeler@didcot.gov.uk.
