## Description
St Stephen Parish Council is seeking a suitably qualified and experienced contractor for the design, supply and installation of a cycle skills area within North Close Play Area, Greenwood Park, Chiswell Green, St Albans, AL2 3JX.
The project aims to provide a durable, safe and engaging cycle skills facility for children and young people up to 14 years of age, supporting the development of cycling skills, balance, coordination and confidence through active outdoor recreation.
The successful contractor will be responsible for the complete design, supply, construction and installation of the facility, including all associated site preparation, foundations, materials, equipment, safety measures, reinstatement works, waste removal, inspection and certification. The contractor will also be required to provide design drawings, visualisations and details of materials and construction methods.
The cycle skills area will occupy an area of approximately 1,500 square metres and should comprise a range of separate and interconnected skills-development features. These may include balance beams, rollers, bridges, berms, ramps, narrow riding sections, slalom features, elevated elements, technical riding obstacles and similar features designed to improve cycle handling skills. The Council is seeking a collection of individual skills-development features and progression zones rather than a pump track, BMX track, mountain bike trail or continuous riding circuit.
The completed facility must be suitable for unsupervised public use, constructed from durable materials, require minimal maintenance and have an anticipated service life of at least 15 years. Contractors should demonstrate how their proposals address accessibility and inclusive design principles.
The works shall include site management, welfare facilities, temporary fencing, signage, health and safety management, protection of the public, and measures to minimise disruption to park users and neighbouring properties during construction.
The completed facility must comply with all relevant British Standards, European Standards and applicable legislation. An independent post-installation inspection and certification must be undertaken prior to handover, with any identified defects rectified before completion.
The estimated contract value is £50,000 including all design, supply, installation, inspections and associated works. The anticipated contract commencement date is November 2026, with completion preferably within one month of commencement.
Full tender documentation, specifications, submission requirements and evaluation criteria are contained within the Invitation to Tender documents.
