QU550 - Recreational Parks Daily Mile Track Installation and Community Engagement Initiative

The Council is seeking to commission the installation of 10 Daily Mile tracks, prioritising wards with both large populations of ethnically diverse communities, low levels of physical activity and in line with our City of Nature Plan (https://naturallybirmingham.org/birmingham-city-of-nature-delivery-framework/).

This includes:

• oDaily Mile trail marker design and installation
• oDaily Mile markings
• oPlacards

This work will be undertaken in partnership with Public Health, Parks and the City of Nature Alliance (https://naturallybirmingham.org/birmingham-city-of-nature-alliance/) delivering health and wellbeing programming in local parks and green spaces.

The Parks where Daily Mile Tracks are to be installed are as below:

• oLadywood - Summerfield Park
• oHandsworth - Handsworth Park
• oNechells- Bloomsbury Park
• oCastle Vale - Farnborough Drive
• oAston - Philip St
• oBalsall Heath West - Calthorpe Park
• oBalsall Heath West -Balsall Heath POS
• oGravelly Hill - The Oval
• oPype Hayes - Pype Hayes Park
• oBordesley and Highgate - Highgate Park

The successful provider will need to engage with the local communities and target groups (e.g religious groups/faith-based organisations) by encouraging them to use the Daily Mile Tracks as part of their weekly physical activity.

All daily miles' installations should be completed by August 2022. The Provider will need to have a mechanism in place to measure number of users of the Daily Mile in each of the locations. The Provider will be expected to collate community use data until end of February 2023.
