Description

We are inviting quotations up to a maximum of £35,000 for the supply and installation of new play features in the Filter Bed play area at Sywell Country Park. The project's aim is to increase physical activity in children and families by encouraging them to move and interact together in play environment that strongly reflects the waterworks and industrial heritage of the park. We are looking for a contractor to add to the current play value in the sand area of the filter bed play space. We intend to keep the two swing structures in their current position. However, both the digger and springer can be repositioned by the contractor if necessary. Location can be agreed with the Senior Ranger during the contractor site visit prior to submission of this bid. If necessary, the existing spinner and kingfisher sculpture can be removed completely as part the works. We want the play features to be eye catching, unique, visually attractive and to reflect the historical industrial heritage of Sywell Country Park.
