About

Wivenhoe Town Council is seeking a supplier for quotes from suitably qualified contractors to design, supply and install a new play area with safety surfacing for children aged 2–11 years at Mede Way, Wivenhoe, Essex CO7 9HP. This opportunity is open to companies with a proven track record in delivering high-quality, safe and innovative play solutions for public spaces, and the successful bidder will be expected to deliver a full design-and-build package. The current Mede Way playpark contains dated play facilities in need of complete redevelopment and the area is well used by local families.

Insight

This tender could be ideal for playground design-and-build contractors experienced in delivering high-quality, safe and innovative play spaces for 2–11 age groups. Key considerations include delivering the full design-and-build scope including safety surfacing and managing a complete redevelopment in a well-used local park, which may require careful project phasing and community engagement.
