How to win: The Views Play Area Replacement

About this contract

Fleet Town Council invites suitably qualified suppliers to submit design and cost proposals for the redevelopment of The Views Play Area, located in Fleet, Hampshire.

Consideration should also be given to pathways connecting the upper and lower
