## About this tender

Shaftesbury Town Council invites tenders for the provision of replacement filtration system and pool liner works at the Shaftesbury Pool, known as the Shaftesbury Lido.

The current filtration system at the Lido has been in place for many years and no longer meets the guidelines of the Pool Water Treatment Advisory Group (PWTAG) or the standards of the Swimming Pool and Allied Trade Association (SPATA). These deficiencies include non-compliance with recommended turnover periods and filtration standards for public commercial swimming pools.

The origins of the "Lido" go back 170 years to the mid-19th century and are closely associated with securing Shaftesbury's water supply. It can claim to be one of the oldest pools still operational in the country.

The Lido is 22.86 metres long by approximately 9 metres wide. The shallow end is 1.2m and the deep end - 2.1m.

Tender shall submit a proposal for replacement of the Lido filtration system to meet the PWTAG and SPATA guidelines. The proposal shall also include the replacement of the pool's liner.

Through its advisory group, STC has assessed that the scope of work to comply with PWTAG and SPATA standards includes the following:

â&#128;¢ Replacement of the existing filtration pipework with correctly sized alternatives.

â&#128;¢ Installation of new filters and larger pipework to ensure a maximum turnover period of 3 hours.

â&#128;¢ Upgrade pipework from the plant room to the pool, add return water inlets and skimmers.

â&#128;¢ Include additional poolside (deck level) drainage.

â&#128;¢ Install a new pool liner upon completion of filtration works.

However, STC is not an expert in this field. Our focus is on a system that performs well enough to meet the PWTAG and SPATA guidelines. We welcome proposals that provide a more cost-efficient solution to the proposed detailed scope of work below, providing the tender includes a description of how their approach differs.

### Submissions should be emailed to

Hard copies (to supplement electronic submission) may be delivered to: Shaftesbury Town Council, Town Hall, High Street, Shaftesbury SP7 8LY marked 'tender private and confidential.'
