NEW RECREATIONAL PLAY AREA & SKATE PARK - HOBBY CLOSE, WATERLOOVILLE

Portsmouth City Council, 'the Authority', is inviting Expressions of Interest from qualified ground works contractors to deliver a new recreational play area and skate park at Hobby Close Field in Wecock Farm, Waterlooville.

The Council is running the procurement process in line with the 'Restricted Procedure' as set out within the 'Public Contracts Regulations (2015)' whereby a shortlist of 3-6 contractors devised via assessment of applications in response to this advert will be invited to submit tenders.

The existing play area and skate park are dated and offer little value to the community due to poor access and safety concerns from overgrown vegetation, inadequate fencing and insufficient levels of lighting.

This project will address these issues with the installation of new play equipment, skate park, paths and lighting in order to attract the local residents and encourage additional use and enjoyment of the area, which will promote the Councils aspirations of improving community's health and levels of social activity.

The installation of the new park will be complemented by land raising and drainage improvement works being undertaken on the adjacent football field on behalf of the Wecock Farm community by Havant Borough Council, with approval from the Authority as landowner.

The Authority will manage the tender and delivery stages of the new recreational play area & skate park only.

The cost of the concept design has been estimated and the project has a budget set at ?500,000. The form of contract used is envisaged to be JCT Intermediate Building Contract with Contractor's Design 2016 (ICD).
