A rebrand of the site to 'Haigh Woodland Park' is proposed to acknowledge the importance of the woodlands that form a major part of the site. As part of this regeneration Wigan Council are now seeking a contractor to develop, under a design and build form of contract, a High Ropes facility incorporating all of the required civil and landscaping works. The project brief also extends to requiring an operational support package to support the establishment of the facility in its early years. The High Ropes facility is a major component of the masterplan solution and aims to significantly contribute to the increase in the number of visits to the site from the base point of ca. 300,000 to a minimum of 500,000 visits within three years. The scale of the High Ropes development must support this vision and have the capacity to cope with a large number of visitors at peak times throughout the year. The High Ropes facility will be positioned adjacent to the new adventure play area to create an adventure zone within the park. The High Ropes facility should be based on a number of design and construction principles which are detailed in the tender documentation. Operational considerations in respect of the operational support package in the early years of the facility are also detailed. The target completion date for the High Ropes facility is 31st March 2016. An indicative timetable for the project is included within the tender documentation. The deadline of Friday 15th May 2015 at 17:00 represents the deadline for the submission of final tenders.
