## About this tender

Camelford Town Council (CTC) would like to engage a company to design and install new play equipment and wet pour surfacing in our Enfield Park. The users of the park range are primarily toddlers through to Primary Age school children. Enfield Park Play Area is part of our beautiful park which is located by the River Camel.

This work will be in addition to existing play equipment including a basket swing, see-saw, swings, slide/play structure and a boat. The design/equipment therefore needs to be well thought out and provide new opportunities for play that complements existing structures and avoids duplication. Environments have a huge impact on the play experience, and CTC are looking for equipment/structures that enable children to explore, experiment, use their imagination and improve social skills.

A public consultation took place in 2018, and based on resident/user feedback, the following play equipment would be favoured:

- an adventure trail (e.g. log traverse, crossed rope walk, jig-saw traverse wall, inclined balance beam or similar)
- covered seating area
- more imaginative play equipment aimed at lower age range
- child friendly surfacing (currently the park has wood chippings)

Following a successful grant application to GWR, the theme of the new play area/equipment should represent the North Cornwall Railway line (London and South Western Railway (LSWR)) and Camelford Station that was closed in 1966. There were 13 stations from Halwill Junction to Padstow via Camelford, and it is envisaged that the new scheme will follow that journey, through play, from one end of the park to the other where there is a newly installed boat which depicts the end journey of Padstow. CTC are installing child friendly information boards around the park to celebrate the heritage of Camelford Station and educate users of the park. This will be done separately and is not part of the tender, however, the 13 station signs that will be installed around the park, will need to be acknowledged in terms of how they will be attached/sited with the new equipment/structures.

As part of the specification of works, a shelter built to look like a "station waiting room" is desired, with bench seating inside.

A site visit is highly recommended, due to gaining an understanding of existing equipment and ensuring the new scheme "fits" in terms of aesthetic values and the flow of play.

To apply, please contact Amanda Lash, Deputy Town Clerk via email  to arrange a visit to the Park. Tenders should be submitted by email or post (Town Hall, Market Place, Camelford PL32 9PD).
