Scope
Description
Ash Parish Council, who have secured funding that has been allocated to enhance the play facilities at the Recreation Ground, are seeking a suitably qualified contractor to design and build a new facility.
There is an existing play area on site which will remain, largely aimed at younger children (2- 8-year-olds) which also includes some 'inclusive' items such as a wheelchair roundabout.
With consideration of the budget and space available, the objective is to provide play experiences which will be aimed at 8 - 14 years old children to complement the existing area. Ensuring the design will be practical, challenging and ultimately encouraging users to return while also utilizing or moving between both 'zones'.
Please download all documents, carefully review the content and submit the tender response by the due date and time.
