Description

Cornwall Wildlife Trust is seeking a suitable contractor to install a wheelchair accessible, permeable, bound footpath and disabled parking spaces at their Five Acres Nature Reserve near Truro.

This is part of a project to turn an old allotment space into a Community Wellbeing Garden that is inclusive and accessible to all. It involves improving the access to the site, including creating accessible parking, improving the pathway to the site and creating accessible pathing within the garden. The project has been designed to support more people to connect and engage with nature but also needs to support nature and be as environmentally friendly as possible.

We are seeking a contractor to install ~600 - 700m2* of a bound, permeable surface, non-slip, non-reflective surface. This is an estimate and the supplier must carry out their own measurements for accuracy. The exact measurements to be taken by contractor, the measurements given are a rough estimate.

The tender document is attached to this notice. If you require any further information contact amy.gosney@cornwallwildlifetrust.org.uk. A site visit is highly recommended before tendering.
