Elizabeth Close Playing Field Tender

Description

The green space known as Elizabeth Close Playing Field is located to the rear of Elizabeth Close (EN9 2HX), behind the houses and very close to the centre of the village of Nazeing.  It is a fairly large space but is mainly laid to grass, with only one part having equipment installed, which is all over 15 years old.
Nazeing village is very large by area, with a fast-growing population (currently c5,000) and a mixed demographic of families with children through to a significant number of older, retired residents. 
Despite the size of the community across the Parish, there are very minimal community facilities and this is something that the current Parish Council have as a strategic priority to improve.
A public survey has already been held, which highlighted residents desire for better equipment and accessibility. Grant applications have been unsuccessful, which limits the funds available at this point to the Parish Council's approved budget of £40,000 (excluding vat).
Nazeing Parish Council would like to invite experienced, qualified Contractors to tender for providing an upgraded play area for the enjoyment of younger residents and their families. The design should focus on play values, inclusivity and value for the budget available. 
Site visits are strongly recommended to enable Contractors to understand full requirements. The Clerk is happy to accommodate these and can be contacted via the email address or phone number at the end of this document. 
Please Note: The Parish is open to consortium bidding.
Full details of what is required are contained in the attached document.
Tenders should be submitted to: 
Lorraine Ellis, Clerk. Nazeing Parish Council, The Leisure Centre, Bumbles Green, Nazeing, Essex EN9 2SF
