Tender: Hazlemere Recreation Ground Playground Refurbishment and Nature Trail Replacement – Hazlemere Parish Council

About

Hazlemere Parish Council is seeking a supplier for the turnkey refurbishment of Hazlemere Recreation Ground playground, including safe dismantling, removal and environmentally responsible disposal of all existing playground equipment and the current nature trail; removal of existing safety surfacing and installation of a new durable, compliant and low‑maintenance safety surface that meets BS EN 1176/1177 (examples include wet pour, bonded mulch or smart hybrid surfacing); supply and installation of new play equipment catering to a wide range of ages and abilities; complete redesign and replacement of the nature trail to foster sensory and environmental engagement (it does not need to be another nature trail); and optional replacement of the adjacent zip wire on a like‑for‑like or enhanced basis. The design must deliver distinct yet integrated play zones primarily for Toddlers & Juniors (ages 2–12) with an optional Teens area (up to 16 years) for the zip wire, prioritise inclusivity beyond minimum accessibility for physical, neurodivergent and sensory disabilities, provide high play value per square metre, and promote biodiversity and integration using natural materials where appropriate. The core proposed budget is £80,000 inclusive of all plant, labour, materials, waste disposal and post‑installation certification; bidders should submit a baseline design matching the £80,000 budget and may present fully costed add-on proposals showing what additional funds would deliver. Submissions are to be emailed to [email protected] by noon on 1st September 2026 and interested parties must attend a site visit.
