In plain English
The council wants a contractor to turn the old tennis courts at King George V in Pontardawe into a nature space with a meadow, trees, drainage features, a boulder natural play area, a hedgerow and paths. The work includes site preparation, removing tarmac and fencing, replacing a drainage pipe and building fencing along the southern edge, with completion by the end of March 2027.
What the buyer wants
• Prepare the site, protect existing grassland, shrubs and trees, and provide a CEMP (construction environmental management plan), sound mitigation plan and risk assessments • Remove the existing tarmac and surrounding fencing, re-level the surface, replace a drainage pipe on the western edge, and build SuDS features (a swale and retention basin) • Install planting, pathways, a boulder natural play area, an eastern hedgerow and southern fencing, then return the site signed off by council officers and the contractor by the end of March 2027
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: The notice sets out no explicit qualification, insurance or experience thresholds, but a small firm without drainage and groundworks capability, or without the capacity to finish all stages by the end of March 2027, would most likely be ruled out.
