OBJECTIVES

The objectives of the procurement are:

Broxbourne Play Area: The objective of the procurement is to remove and replace/upgrade older pieces of equipment and improve safety surfacing similar to the other sites (wetpour/bonded rubber mulch). Improvements in inclusivity of the items on the site, as well as introductions of further inclusive play. The improvements of this play area and upgrades are being made for an increase in safety. Helping to encourage children to develop coordination, balance and core strength, as well as being easily accessible. Similarly, this should be of good build quality and made to last with reasonable cost efficiencies.

Goffs Oak: Due to ground conditions and usage at this site, the council will be looking to replace safety surfacing in the toddler area and around junior items such as swinging and rotating items, as well as the multiplay unit. This is to promote use year-round and to provide better ground conditions for users of the park. Please use bonded rubber mulch or wetpour safety surfacing, done to a high standard for a long lifespan with reasonable cost efficiencies. The remaining budget should be used to replace/upgrade older pieces of equipment, preferably increasing inclusive play, such as an inclusive roundabout and play panels.

Cheshunt Park: To replace the old cable runway present at the site with a new and improved cable runway. Option for a double cable runway would be preferable. Due to high usage and age, some ground reinstatement works for the unit will also be required. This replacement is being made to improve the appeal and safety of the park. This should be of good build quality and made to last with reasonable cost efficiencies.
