Description
DUE TO COVID-19, THIS TENDER HAS BEEN PAUSED
Newington Parish Council (Borough of Swale, Kent) wish to improve our Children's Playground and seek tenders to carry out all works.
Newington Parish Council has a pavilion, children's play area, football and five-a-side pitch, hard floodlit ball court, allotments, picnic area and community woodland off Orchard Drive in the village postcode ME9.7NH.
We intend to retain most of the existing play equipment: flat, toddler and basket swings; slide; climbing arch; sputnik; and recently installed cableway which is to remain outside the fenced play area. The see-saw needs replacing.
The focus is to be for children aged 6+yrs. Following local surveys we would like to see: a centrepiece multiplay unit; monkey bars; a play trail; a replacement see-saw; Proludic Aero Skate Challenge or equivalent; a 'springer'; an item for creative play which is nature-themed; an accessible roundabout (ground level, access for wheelchairs and also seats, at the eastern end of the play area for easy access from the recreation ground entrance). Following local surveys and research we would not wish have wooden equipment or a tube slide.
The existing play area measures approx. 14m X 43m (48ft X 117ft). We anticipate the expanded facility to measure up to 23.75m X 56m (70ft X 157ft), to include new bow-top fencing on 2+ sides (the chain link fence along the track to the allotment car-parking to remain, as well as the new 2.4m fence protecting the play area from the goal at the eastern end of the ball court). Monohinge self-closing gates (Joseph Ash Co. or equivalent) to be fitted at western and eastern ends of the expanded area.
New surfacing for existing and new equipment is to be included. We want grass spaces left so individual, smaller pieces of play equipment can be added when funds permit. The new surfacing to be aesthetically pleasing and long-lasting.
References and expression of interest must be received by 12 March 2020.
Accompanied site meetings can be arranged by appointment.
Tender submission is no later than 26 March 2020 with 3 hard copies of requested documentation and via email.
Contract Award is 13 April 2020
