Tender description
Braintree District Council welcomes interested parties to participate in this tender for the refurbishment of the Clare Road Play Area. This project, funded under Section 106 (S106), aims to enhance the recreational facilities within our community whilst adhering to the highest safety standards. Located at pods.forkful.blog (What Three Words location), the Clare Road Play Area requires comprehensive revitalisation to ensure it remains a vibrant hub for children and families alike. As part of this endeavour, the Council has outlined a detailed specification that encompasses the replacement and enhancement of existing play equipment across both open field areas and the toddler (fenced) play area. In line with Framework Agreement PROC20-0107, prospective bidders are invited to submit proposals for various aspects of the refurbishment project. This includes the removal and replacement of outdated equipment with new installations designed to promote inclusive and engaging play experiences. Crucially, all proposed works must meet stringent safety requirements, with particular attention paid to overlaying wet pour safety surfaces and creating no-edge surfaces to mitigate potential hazards. Additionally, post-installation inspections are integral to this tender, ensuring the ongoing safety and longevity of the refurbished play areas. The scope of work spans from the removal and replacement of swing bays and inclusive roundabouts to the revitalisation of trim trails and toddler play equipment. Furthermore, measures such as weed control and surface overlay are essential components to be addressed within the tender proposals. Braintree District Council invites capable and experienced contractors to submit comprehensive bids that align with the outlined specifications. Through collaborative efforts, we aim to rejuvenate the Clare Road Play Area, providing a safe, inclusive, and enjoyable environment for generations to come. Prospective bidders are encouraged to carefully review the provided specifications and submit their proposals by the designated deadline. Should you require any further clarification or information, please do not hesitate to contact the Council's procurement team. This tender has a maximum budget of £82,666.10.
