EPP0114 - Clare Road Play Area

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replacement of outdated equipment with new installations designed to promote inclusive and 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.
