## Description
Bathampton Parish Council is seeking to appoint an experienced and suitably qualified playground contractor to remove existing playground equipment and surfacing and to design, supply, deliver and install a new children's playground, including site preparation, removal of existing surface, and installation of new safety surfacing.
The project aims to create a safer, more inclusive, and engaging play space that meets the standards of the Association of Play Industries (API). This includes inclusive play equipment for a range of age groups, new safety-compliant surfacing, seating, access improvements, and compliance with relevant British Standards.
Scope of Works: (see attached tender Specification)
 Removal and safe disposal of existing playground equipment and surfacing. 'No
surface overlay'. Where appropriate suppliers should explore opportunities to
recycle or refurbish existing equipment.
 Design and installation of new play equipment catering to a range of ages
incorporating inclusive and accessible play elements. A key requirement is the
inclusion of equipment specifically designed for older children (over 7 years of age), Offering challenging features such as climbing structures that provide
social play and physical engagement, while limiting access to younger children
for safety.
 In addition, there should be equipment that enables younger children (pre school) to play safely and independently, encouraging self-development and
self-confidence. A multi play structure featuring a bridge and slide, which is popular with current playground users is highly desirable and something that was noted in the Community survey.
 The Survey with the community noted the wish to retain some of the well-loved traditional features of the current playground, specifically noting the older children's swings, basket swing, zip -wire and toddler swings. The roundabout and see-saw are well used amongst all age groups. We are keen to see proposals
that incorporate modernised versions of these classics, alongside new, innovative and engaging play equipment.
 The design should include a zipwire at least the length of the existing one. If the budget does not permit a full replacement, the quote should include the replacing of the ramp, repainting of the structure and installing new safety surfacing (grass matting) underneath.
 Older Children (7+): There was strong demand in the survey for challenging equipment such as monkey bars, social climbing structures, and potentially a high slide incorporated into a play structure. Equipment should promote physical activity and social interaction while limiting access to younger children
for safety.
 Pre-School Children (Under 5): There is demand for safer, more accessible equipment that supports independent play. The community survey noted preference for an improved bridge and slide multi play structure. The current toddler bridge and slide unit was frequently cited as unsafe due to ladder spacing and shared use by olde...
