The appointed Contractor will be required to engage with Gainsborough Town Council and may be involved in engaging with a Focused Community Group and children at 3 local schools. This will include them to present their design and engage with the groups to enhance their design as required to fulfil the requirements and complete the final design. Gainsborough Town Council does not wish to dictate a single solution. Contractor's areinvited to propose a design that best addresses the Council's objectives and the community's needs for the site. The design should be a hub for activity with a core provision for wheeled sports. Creativity and originality are encouraged for the Contractor to provide an impartial and informed solution, based on their experience and expertise. The Contractor is to outline previous examples of similar work, evidencing skills, Health & Safety procedures, experience collaborating with Councils and Focus Groups.

The Contractor shall provide a minimum 12-months Defects Liability Period following Practical Completion, during which any defects arising from materials or workmanship shall be rectified at no cost to Gainsborough Town Council. The Contractor is to provide a warranty of 10 years for the structural integrity of the design. All new works are to be concrete, which will be designed and constructed in accordance with the relevant British Standards and best practice for a specialist skate park.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 45. The category anchor is Recreation installation (45212140); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
