The outcome of this tender will be to identify and select a single Contractor to take the project forward from consultation to a final design and a completed installed concrete skatepark, to suit the needs of the local young people whilst taking into account a range of ages, abilities and wheels, e.g. scooters, skateboards and BMX, and also taking account of the site constraints. The Council does not wish to dictate a single solution, instead we invite tenderers to propose a design that best addresses the Council's objectives, and the community's needs for the site. The design should be a hub for activity with a core provision for wheeled sports. We encourage creativity and originality; we encourage the Contractor to provide an impartial and informed solution based on their experience and expertise.
