Thurcroft Parish Council invites suitably qualified and experienced playground design and installation companies to submit a tender for the design, supply, and installation of a revitalised children's playground at: Location: Gordon Bennett Memorial Hall, Green Arbour Rd, Thurcroft, Rotherham, S66 9DD. The Council wishes to create a safe, inclusive, and engaging play environment with clearly defined areas for younger and older children, and to relocate an existing teenage hut to a more appropriate area of the site or nearby land. The current playground no longer adequately meets the needs of all age groups. In particular: • There is insufficient separation between younger children and older users • Existing equipment lacks progression and challenge • The current location of the teenage hut impacts the enjoyment and safety of younger children The Parish Council seeks innovative proposals that address these issues while remaining sympathetic to the surrounding community. ________________________________________ Project Objectives Tenderers should demonstrate how their proposals will: • Provide distinct play zones for: o Younger children (approx. ages 2-6) o Older children (approx. ages 7-12+) • Improve safety, supervision, and accessibility • Encourage active, imaginative, and social play • Reduce conflict between different age groups • Relocate the existing teenage hut to a more suitable location (specified by the council) • Deliver a durable, low-maintenance solution ________________________________________ Scope of Works The scope includes, but is not limited to: 5.1 Design • A full playground layout plan • Clear zoning for younger and older children • Consideration of natural or physical separation (e.g. planting, fencing, surfacing, pathways) • Integration of the relocated teenage hut into an appropriate area 5.2 Equipment & Installation • Supply and installation of age-appropriate play equipment • Removal and relocation of the teenage hut to include any necessary groundwork, bases, or minor modifications • Groundworks and surfacing • Compliance with all relevant safety standards (e.g. EN 1176 / 1177) ________________________________________ Design Requirements Younger Children's Area (Indicative) • Low-level equipment suitable for early years • Inclusive and sensory play elements • Safer surfacing • Good visibility for parents and carers Older Children's Area (Indicative) • More challenging and adventurous equipment • Opportunities for physical activity and social interaction • Equipment that discourages misuse of younger play areas
