The Council consider the project to be a specialist skatepark project rather than a public realm or civil engineering project, and that skateparks are highly specialised sporting environments that require a combination of skate-specific design knowledge, construction expertise, and an understanding of user behaviour and long-term operational performance. Within the procurement documentation, the Council will be requesting that bidders are able to demonstrate skatepark (or closely comparable wheeled sports) delivery experience including a requirement to demonstrate experience in the design of the scheme. The Council will provide an Employer's Requirements / Project Brief and will rely on the suppliers' skills, experience and knowledge to develop an appropriate design; the supply will then undertake the construction of the works.
