Rossett Community Council is seeking tenders from experienced playground contractors to undertake the redevelopment of the children's play area within Rossett Park. The Council wishes to create an attractive, inclusive and accessible play space for children of mainly older ages and abilities that provides challenging, imaginative and sensory play opportunities whilst complementing the character of the existing park. This is to balance out from the toddler play area we had installed a couple of years ago, hence why it should be aimed at the older aged children, to encourage them to utilise our green space within the community. The successful contractor will be expected to provide all labour, materials, plant, design input where required, installation, testing and certification necessary to complete the project. The scheme is expected to include: • Removal of existing play equipment where identified. • Supply and installation of new inclusive play equipment. • Safety surfacing. • Accessible pathways and site furniture where applicable. • Landscaping and biodiversity enhancements. • Protection and incorporation of retained heritage play features. • Compliance with BS EN 1176 and BS EN 1177. • Practical completion, inspections and certification. Contractors should demonstrate previous experience delivering similar high-quality inclusive playground projects for local authorities, town or community councils or comparable public sector clients.

The proposed scheme involves the installation of a new controlled puffin crossing outside Ysgol Gynradd Bethel. The works include the associated civil engineering works, comprising kerbing, tactile paving, road markings, traffic signs, and bollards, together with the installation of ducting and chamber boxes in preparation for the installation of the electrical infrastructure.

The Government's collection and packaging reforms represent the biggest change to the UK's waste and recycling sector for c.25 years. Simpler Recycling aims to make it easier for households and businesses to recycle, including making provisions by 31 March 2027 for all local authorities in England to collect plastic bags and wrapping (flexibles) for recycling from all households. The FlexFlats project aims to understand how local authorities can provide an efficient and effective flexibles collection service to residents who live in purpose-built flats and share bins (communal bins). The pilots will be carried out in partnership with three London local authorities with five pilot sites (blocks) in each. The local authorities are: • London borough of Bexley (twin-stream dry recycling service) • London borough of Lewisham (comingled dry recycling service) • Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea (commingled dry recycling service) The pilot will trial a range of methods for flexibles plastics collection in 15 blocks of flats across the three boroughs. Each block will have a minimum of 25 households and will have a residual waste and dry recycling collection service already in place. A range of in-home solutions will be piloted. Flexibles sorted in the home will then be collected externally in either the usual dry recycling bin or a separate flexibles bin in the communal bin area - it is anticipated that separate flexibles bins will be no larger than 240l. Pilots are still being finalised but are likely to include the following: In-home options External infrastructure options* 1 No home separation - resident behaves as now (control) Usual recycling bin 2 In-home separation using residents own bags Standard wheeled bin (lined) / Lid-in-lid bin (lined) / Sack holder 3 In-home separation using rolls of bags delivered by the local authority Usual recycling bin (co-mingled) / Lid-in-lid bin (lined) / Sack holder 4 In-home separation using provided storage caddy (non-compaction), with residents using own bags Standard wheeled bin (lined) / Lid-in-lid bin (lined) / Sack holder *External options are being finalised with local authorities, and depend on local factors such as available space and collection and sorting methodology. Blocks will have a weekly collection frequency of residual waste and dry recycling, as a minimum. The pilots are scheduled to go live in late September 2026, with baseline monitoring taking place prior (including WCA). Pilots will run for 3.5 months, running until mid-January 2027, with post-monitoring taking place upon project close. The following project deliverables will be undertaken by the succesful bidder: • Two phase waste composition analysis to be undertaken for waste and recycling from all properties at up to 15 pilot sites situated across 15 housing estates/blocks within three London boroughs (five within each borough), using one or more sort sites provided by the local authorities. Phase 1: Pre-pilot WCA - to be undertaken between 7th - 26th September 2026 before interventions are introduced Phase 2: Post-pilot WCA - to be undertaken late January/early February 2027 to assess impact of interventions • Sorting to meet the data classification provided; • Confirmation of all appropriate permits to sort waste and (if required) transport waste; • Provision of a risk assessment in advance of any collection and sorting; • Attendence at an inception meeting via Teams and attendance at regular contract meetings during peak delivery periods (30 minutes/fortnightly or as required) and any other communications as required leading up to and required between project phases; • Delivery of the project outputs as set out in section 5; • Presentation of the results of the project (online via teams) • Final close down meeting (1 hour duration online), anticipated to be held February / March 2027. Scope of work Sorting and categorisation requirements Separately recorded sort data will be required for each block/bin store, for each phase of the WCA. This will be comprised of up to 15 blocks in total (across three local authority areas), with approximately 500-700 properties' waste across these, per phase. Residual, dry recycling and separate flexibles (where applicable) will require sorting into the high level categories set out below. Appendix 1 shows the required sub-catagorisation of materials for each of these high level categories. Phase 1: Waste stream Classifications Data Residual waste (all bins in bin area/block) Target flexibles Non-target flexibles Non-flexibles dry recyclables Food waste All other waste Kg/hh/wk per bin area/block for each category Dry recycling (all bins in bin area/block) Target flexibles Non-target flexibles/ Non-flexibles recyclables Food waste All other waste Kg/hh/wk per bin area/block for each category Phase 2: Waste stream Classification (group) Data Residual waste (all bins in bin area/block) Target flexibles Non-target flexibles/ Non-flexibles recyclables Food waste All other waste Kg/hh/wk per bin area/block for each category Dry recycling (all bins in bin area/block) Target flexibles Non-target flexibles/ Non-flexibles recyclables Food waste All other waste Kg/hh/wk per bin area/block for each category Capture rate of target flexibles (where applicable) Separate flexibles bins (where applicable) Target flexibles Non-target flexibles/ Non-flexibles plastic recyclables All other waste Kg/hh/wk per bin area/block for each category Capture rate of target flexibles For flexibles in all waste streams, in addition to target/non-target classification, a more detailed compositional classification is required.

Cefas requires a plant growth chamber for the growth of microalgal cultures under controlled conditions. The chamber needs to provide consistent lighting and temperature throughout with several shelves to allow for high efficiency growth of cultures held in tissue culture flasks. The cultures need to be maintained for prolonged periods of time with growth conditions optimised towards maximum achievable cell growth rates and densities. A large internal capacity is required in order to maintain a high number of culture flasks of either the same or multiple species of marine microalgae and freshwater cyanobacteria. Options for gas or electrical lines into the unit are desirable but not essential. The unit will be expected to operate in a laboratory environment with external temperatures between 15-25 °C. As the primary use will be for the growth of marine microalgal cultures in seawater growth media, the unit will need to be able to operat
