In plain English
Didcot Town Council is asking for a design and installation of new play equipment at Ladygrove Park to replace 25-year-old equipment and create a modern, accessible play area for children aged 5 to 11. The project budget is currently £40,000, with potential to reach £100,000 if additional external funding is secured.
What the buyer wants
• Submit your own design concept for play equipment that makes creative use of existing landscaped mounds, including features like tunnels, bridges, slides, and climbing elements • Demonstrate how to relocate the existing multi-play unit to higher ground to avoid winter flooding • Provide design that is fully accessible and inclusive, complying with EN1176, BS7188 and EN1177 standards • Clearly identify which elements can be delivered within the confirmed £40,000 budget and which could be added if additional funding of up to £100,000 becomes available
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: This contract will likely disqualify most small businesses because it requires sophisticated design expertise, specialist play equipment knowledge, compliance with complex safety standards, and the ability to deliver a finished project within a tight budget and timescale. Single traders and small non-specialist firms should not bid.
