The play area includes a neighbourhood as well as a local equipped area of play (NEAP and LEAP) and was originally installed in 2014. Sadly, some of the timber play equipment has reached the end of its life already and the Council has concerns regarding the original preparation of the underlying ground and the original installation of the safety surfacing which displays evidence of erosion below the surfacing. The St Martin's play area currently has the highest footfall among the Town Council's play areas and is attractive to families who attend the adjacent primary school, among other users. The Council's vision very much is to create a flagship play area which creates a "wow effect" for local residents and visitors. The Council is looking to appoint a preferred supplier for the goods and works as set out in the invitation to tender document. ## CPV classification Construction structures and materials; auxiliary products to construction (except electric apparatus) Construction work Source Find a Tender (UK) · Notice ocds-h6vhtk-05e85f-2025-11-25T13:48:13Z [View official notice](https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/ocds-h6vhtk-05e85f-2025-11-25T13:48:13Z) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
