Scope
Description
Hordle Parish Council invites suitably qualified contractors to submit a formal tender for the redesign and construction of a Multi Use Games Area (MUGA) at Hordle Recreation Ground. The facility is intended to support recreational and sporting activities for our community and must include tennis, basketball, netball, pickleball and 5 a-side football.
The current sports area measures approximately 40 x 20m2 and is enclosed by a wire mesh fence.
