In plain English

Derry City and Strabane District Council wants to hire a contractor to build a new 1.75 hectare community park at Currynierin, Waterside, Derry/Londonderry, with an enclosed play area, a grass kick-about pitch and lit footpaths. The contract is estimated at £1,500,000. This notice is a pre-qualification questionnaire, the first stage in which the council checks which contractors are suitable before inviting full tenders.

What the buyer wants

• Complete the pre-qualification questionnaire and submit it through eTendersNI, as no other submission method is accepted. • Carry out the groundworks: clear and demolish the existing play area, do substantial earthworks, install traditional and SuDS (sustainable drainage) systems, and build Bitmac (asphalt) footpaths with aggregate base, kerbing and street lighting. • Supply and install an inclusive, DDA (Disability Discrimination Act) compliant play facility with about 18 pieces of equipment and wetpour safety surfacing, plus fencing and gates on concrete mowing strips, paving, landscaping with tree planting and grass seeding, street furniture and signage.

Requirements

What could rule a small business out: The notice sets no specific qualification thresholds, but the £1.5 million value and the scope of civil engineering, drainage and play installation mean a small business would need proven experience and capacity to deliver works of this size, and any submission not made through eTendersNI would be rejected.

Always check the tender documents.
