Bumbles Green Playground Tender

The green space known as Bumbles Green Playing Field is located alongside Nazeing Common (EN9 2SF), near to Bumbles Green roundabout and on the outskirts of the village of Nazeing. It is a large space, mainly laid to grass, with goal posts for a children's football pitch. The area is used by dog walkers, people playing football and exercising. There was a playground with dated, old equipment, which has recently been removed.

Nazeing village is very large by area, with a fast-growing population (currently c5,000) and a mixed demographic of families with children through to a significant number of older, retired residents.

Despite the size of the community across the Parish, there are very minimal community facilities and this is something that the current Parish Council have as a strategic priority to improve.

Residents highlighted to the local District Councillor a requirement for better equipment and accessibility. Consequently, the Parish Council has been given a grant of £90,000 (excluding vat), with the caveat that the new equipment is installed by 01 March 2025.

Nazeing Parish Council would like to invite experienced, qualified Contractors to tender for providing a new modern playground for the enjoyment of younger residents and their families. The playground design should focus on play values, inclusivity and value for the budget available. In addition, a fitness area is also to be provided for use by older children and adults. The fitness area design should focus on providing a range of equipment, inclusivity and value for the budget available.

Site visits are strongly recommended to enable Contractors to understand full requirements. The Clerk is happy to accommodate these and can be contacted via the email address or phone number at the end of this document.

Please Note: The Parish is open to consortium bidding.
