Rustington Parish Council - Outdoor Fitness Equipment

Following a successful application for funding from the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, Rustington Parish Council is seeking to appoint a contractor with extensive experience and a proven track record for the design, supply and installation of Outdoor Fitness Equipment. The appointed contractor will be required to undertake the removal and disposal of the existing Fitness Equipment and supply and install an exciting new outdoor fitness zone with appropriate safety surfacing.

The Council has ownership and responsibility for the Woodlands Recreation Ground within the Parish of Rustington, on the South Coast of West Sussex. The Recreation Ground is approximately 7.5 acres in size and is home to the Village Football and Cricket Clubs. The site accommodates one full size Football Pitch, Cricket Square, a Play Area and is the location of several of the Council's properties, including the Village Hall and a separate Youth Centre.

The most recent Operational Inspection (see attached) undertaken by an independent contractor has highlighted the deterioration of the existing Fitness Equipment which has now been in situ for in excess of 15 years. The Parish Council now seeks a qualified and experienced contractor to undertake the works required to create and install a Fitness Zone that is of a modern, sustainable and robust standard. The Council is open to innovative designs that do not necessarily comprise of multiple pieces of individual equipment and would be interested to see examples of alternative solutions such as a Fitness Rig. The estimated value of this contract is between £25,000.00 and £30,000.00 excluding VAT.

The Council will make a decision by the 27 September 2024.
