## About this tender

Works include designing and building play spaces, supply and installation of bespoke, inclusive and accessible play equipment on new areas as well as to landscape the immediate and surrounding areas and to enhance, improve, create or remove and replace the existing play offer to provide a more inclusive and accessible play offer at various Forestry England sites across the UK.

The inclusive offer should take into consideration those with additional needs including wheelchair users and their carers, those with limited mobility, neurodiverse visitors, carers who may have children of different ages including those in pushchairs, as well potentially offering elements designed with partially sighted individuals in mind or those who may be hard of hearing.
