COV - Coombe Abbey Adventure Play Area

Coventry City Council are seeking to replace two existing play areas at Coombe Abbey Park. One play area is adjacent to the park's visitors centre and the second in the wooded area near Top Pool Lodge, this play area is known as the Climbing Forest (see Appendix A for site plan and site images).

The largest play area (located adjacent to the visitor centre) contains a range of individual play items designed to accommodate children aged 4 - 7 years and 8 - 13 years old. The play items include swings, modular climbing units, slides and a basket swing. The play area was constructed in 2004 and much of the equipment is now reaching the end of it's economic life. Throughout the year there are regularly periods when the play area is closed off to the public due to repair requirements and /or maintenance issues.

The second area is located within the Country Park adjacent to the woodland area in Wartrums field near Top Pool Lodge. The facility was built in 2006 and consists of a range of timber constructed items of equipment including spiders web, hammock, climbing rope and balance beams. Although popular, this facility offers limited opportunity and could benefit greatly from being enhanced to further increase the play value providing a range of challenging and exciting experiences.

Please register via the Council`s e-procurement system - CSW-JETS http://www.csw-jets.co.uk/

CSW-JETS is a sub-regional e-tendering portal run by In-tend. Since February 2010, Coventry; Solihull; Warwickshire; Nuneaton and Bedworth; Rugby alongside other local district Councils have been working together as a shared procurement service. In conjunction with Solihull Community Housing, we have joined together to bring you a collaborative E-Tendering portal.

CSW-JETS enables us to advertise our opportunities across all authorities through the same system. This means that there is a single point of contact for procurement in the sub-region so you only have to register once to receive notifications for all authorities. Registering on the portal will make it easier for local suppliers to find, respond to and be alerted to tender opportunities.

Registration is free, and takes just a few minutes. When complete, you will be able to express interest in any of the Councils'/Authorities' opportunities when they are made available including this tender. In addition, we will be able to access your details whenever we have a requirement, and you may then be invited to tender or quote for work.

Once you are registered and log in to the system you will be able to locate the tender opportunity, express interest and access the documentation.
