## Description
The purpose of the brief is to obtain quotations and illustrated layouts for the supply and installation of new play equipment and ancillary items at Thorpe Marriott Green, Pendlesham Rise, Taverham, Norwich, NR8 6XG
Companies must be registered with the API (Association of Play Industries) to tender for this contract.
The Council is inviting proposals for:
a)	Removal and disposal of existing play equipment and safety surfacing
b)	Supply and installation of new play equipment
c)	Supply and installation of picnic benches/tables and bins
d)	Supply and installation of gate and signage
e)	Supply and installation of wet pour safety surfacing
f)	ROSPA inspection prior to site handover
Although there are some funds available, the Parish Council will be seeking grant funding.  Upon conclusion of the tender process, the Council will appoint a preferred contractor, and the contract will only be awarded once all funding has been confirmed.  The Parish Council reserves the right not to appoint any contractor. 
As a guide, we are looking to spend a maximum of £220,000
•	Create a picnic area and play area suitable predominantly for younger children but with some provision for children up to the age of 12 years within the space occupied by the existing play area.
•	Removal and disposal of all existing play equipment, safety surfacing, benches and bins within the existing play area.
•	Brightly coloured wet pour safety surfacing is to be used for the entire play surface.  Designs within the surface should add play value.
•	The existing hedge and fencing will remain but the new design must include a new self-closing gate suitable for wheelchair access for all sizes.

•	Signage stating site address, location (what3words), suitability for age group and parish council contact details is required. The sign must also inform users that dogs, smoking, and the use of bikes, skateboards and scooters are banned.
•	Due to the proximity of the play area to the skatepark, some young people may be tempted to use their scooters/skateboards on the play equipment.  The layout and style of the play equipment should minimise the risk of this mis-use.
•	A bicycle/scooter rack is to be sited outside the play area.
•	At least 2 toddler swings to be included within the equipment provided, one of which to be a "me to you" style which allows for the carer to be seated opposite the infant. 2 junior swings and a basket swing are also expected.
•	A minimum of 3 slides to be included in the design.
•	Any play panels proposed must not create excessive noise and must have educational value.
•	Equipment suitable for inclusive play is expected.
•	The inclusion of a trampoline/jumper larger than the one located at Sandy Lane Play Area w...
