Canal Fields Play Area includes the removal of
some pieces of existing equipment and design, supply and
installation of new wood based equipment which must cater for the
age range 2-14. With a preference for a main play feature that can
be used by several children at a time. The specification approach
was to ask tenderers to base the overall design on local history
and to provide all the equipment, installation and safety
inspection for the total budget available.
The current play area in Canal Fields contains equipment that is
over 25 years. The play experience is not what it should be. The
lack of inclusive play equipment means that the play are is not
suitable for certain residents within Dacorum.
A Councillor from Berkhamsted Town Council (BTC) was invited to
join the evaluation team, as BTC had expressed an interest in the
play facilities on this site.
This tender was advertised as an Open (below WTO threshold) process
on the Supply Hertfordshire portal and on Contracts Finder in
accordance with the Public Contract Regulations 2015.
