Description

The Council is seeking tenders from qualified and reputable play companies to design, supply and install play equipment for the recently purchased extension to the play area and to transform an existing play area. The work shall enhance play value, provide a range of play opportunities, and encourage a fun yet safe environment creating an enjoyable lengthy visit for all. The area is to look as bright and attractive as possible yet be sympathetic to its environment.
The Council has set a maximum budget of £50,000 exc. VAT for the project. Tenders may be submitted under this sum. The completion date for the project is to be as soon as practicable after the contract is finalised.

Newport Play Area is situated at the junction of Canal Side West and Main Road, Newport HU15 2PR.
The extension to the play area is possible following the purchase of further land from the Environment Agency that was previously leased by Newport Parish Council.

The existing play area is to be largely maintained but upgraded as required. The play area and surrounding play and grass areas are owned and managed by Newport Parish Council. It is a public park with public access at all times and has a number of items of play equipment. We recommend a site visit to appreciate the site-specific conditions - tenderers are welcome to visit this site at any time. The tenderer should assess the work required, the access, security of the site, topography, layout, and any necessary drainage requirements before a tender is submitted. It is the responsibility of the tenderer to check for any existing utility services on site. A Council representative can be available to meet interested contractors during the tender period given enough notice to answer questions but not give an opinion.

Existing Play Assets

 Fencing to 4 sides of the Play Area with Gate - 1 side to be moved to facilitate the expansion of the play area.
 2 wooden seats to be moved (if required)
 General Surface of existing natural play area to be leveled if required.
 Multiplay with slide
 Play Seat and Table
 Springers x 3
 Rocker Seesaw
 Swing Nest Basket
 Swing - Toddler - 1 Bay 2 Seat

Based on the feedback received following the various consultantion events Newport Parish Council have expressed a preference for a Teen Multi Play unit, an Inclusive Roundabout and a Witches Hat Climbing Frame (Cone Climber) in addition to the existing equipment, with a suitable safety surface for each item of equipment.
As we move to the tendering stage based on the consultation results the following pieces of equipment should be included: -
 Teen Multi play Unit
 Inclusive Roundabout (Wheelchair accessible)
 Witches Hat Climbing Frame (Cone Climber)
