Description

Littleport Town Council is seeking to appoint an experienced contractor for the design and build of a new state-of-the-art concrete skate park in Littleport, Cambridgeshire.
The skate park is a significant community investment designed to serve a broad cross-section of the local population, including children, teenagers and adults. The site is centrally located in the town, adjacent to the Littleport Youth and Community Centre, a children's play area, a wellbeing park, and a dog-walking park.
The successful contractor will be required to undertake the full design and construction of the skate park facility, including all groundworks, drainage, surfacing, features and associated infrastructure. The design must take account of the varied age groups and skill levels who will use the facility, and must comply with all relevant safety standards and planning requirements.
Tenderers are expected to demonstrate relevant experience in the design and construction of comparable skate park facilities, and to provide evidence of appropriate qualifications, accreditations, and public liability insurance.

• Full design of the concrete skate park, including layout, features and user experience for all age groups
• Site preparation and groundworks
• Construction of concrete skate park surface and all skating features
• Drainage and associated civil engineering works
• Compliance with all relevant safety standards (including those set by the Fields in Trust / RoSPA)
• Liaison with Littleport Town Council and relevant statutory bodies throughout the project
• Handover documentation including as-built drawings and maintenance guidance
Tenderers must demonstrate the following as a minimum:
• Proven experience in the design and build of concrete skate parks of comparable scale and value
• Public liability insurance of no less than £5,000,000
• Employers liability insurance of no less than £10,000,000
• Relevant health and safety accreditations (e.g. CHAS, Constructionline or equivalent)
• Compliance with all applicable employment, equality and environmental legislation
• Membership of a relevant professional or trade body is desirable (e.g. the Freestyle Skateparks Association)
