Tender: Wick Village Playground Refurbishment and Installation – Wick Park, Worcestershire (WR10 3NZ)

About

Wick Parish Council is seeking a single supplier to design, supply and install a refurbished children’s playground (ages 0–12) in the rear section of Wick Park (postcode WR10 3NZ). The brief covers replacement of most existing equipment while retaining the large slide and access steps where preferred, with scope for relocating a Wendy House if required. The Council’s published Wants include multiple types of swings (including cradle/basket), climbing apparatus, stepping/balancing equipment, role-play features, a tunnel/slide using the existing mound, and seating/picnic areas; Desires include a zip wire, a trampoline (with controls to avoid stagnant water or wildlife issues), and a Nature Discovery area. Equipment must be durable and weather‑resistant (for example hot‑dip galvanised where steel is used), use sustainably sourced raw materials where possible (eg post‑consumer recycled content), include third‑party verified information on carbon emissions and sustainable material content, be installed to current British Safety Standards and inspected by a third‑party inspector, and be easy to maintain with an expected lifespan of at least 15 years. The design should favour a natural aesthetic to blend with the conservation area, and proposals must include drainage, groundworks and surfacing solutions to address occasional water pooling and moss in the bowl‑shaped area. The Council has match funding available, one grant approved and a second grant application pending; works and final invoices must be completed by mid‑March 2026. Tenders are to be emailed to [email protected] and a hard copy clearly marked as Tender Documents sent to Clerk of Wick Parish Council, 11 Holloway, Pershore, Worcs. WR10 1HW; submissions must be received by 5pm on Friday 7 November 2025. Contact: [email protected], Tel 01386 552233.
