description
Thurcroft Parish Council invites suitably qualified and experienced playground design and installation companies to submit a tender for the design, supply, and installation of a revitalised children's playground at:
Location:
Gordon Bennett Memorial Hall, Green Arbour Rd, Thurcroft, Rotherham, S66 9DD.
The Council wishes to create a safe, inclusive, and engaging play environment with clearly defined areas for younger and older children, and to relocate an existing teenage hut to a more appropriate area of the site or nearby land.
The current playground no longer adequately meets the needs of all age groups. In particular:
| • | There is insufficient separation between younger children and older users |
| • | Existing equipment lacks progression and challenge |
| • | The current location of the teenage hut impacts the enjoyment and safety of younger children |
The Parish Council seeks innovative proposals that address these issues while remaining sympathetic to the surrounding community. ________________________________________
Project Objectives
Tenderers should demonstrate how their proposals will:
| • | Provide distinct play zones for: |
| o | Younger children (approx. ages 2-6) |
| o | Older children (approx. ages 7-12+) |
| • | Improve safety, supervision, and accessibility |
| • | Encourage active, imaginative, and social play |
| • | Reduce conflict between different age groups |
| • | Relocate the existing teenage hut to a more suitable location (specified by the council) |
| • | Deliver a durable, low-maintenance solution |
________________________________________
Scope of Works
The scope includes, but is not limited to:
- Design
| • | A full playground layout plan |
| • | Clear zoning for younger and older children |
| • | Consideration of natural or physical separation (e.g. planting, fencing, surfacing, pathways) |
| • | Integration of the relocated teenage hut into an appropriate area |
- Equipment & Installation
| • | Supply and installation of age-appropriate play equipment |
| • | Removal and relocation of the teenage hut to include any necessary groundwork, bases, or minor modifications |
| • | Groundworks and surfacing |
| • | Compliance with all relevant safety standards (e.g. EN 1176 / 1177) |
