Fencing Installations, Maintenance, Security and Groundworks

Description

Harrow has 22 wards and approx. 261,000 residents according to 2021 census information. We are responsible for maintaining around 160-200 parks buildings (including outbuildings), 57 parks and open spaces, around 20 nature reserves, around 10 cemeteries, 34 allotment sites and 1615 roads covering 457 km of highways within the Borough boundaries. Harrow Council has an ongoing requirement for the provision of Fencing Installations, Maintenance, Parks Buildings Infrastructure Security and ad hoc Groundworks to support its Environmental and Highways service areas within the Place Directorate. The types of work undertaken are varied and include all types of new fencing installation, reactive security welding repairs and maintenance, telescopic bollard installations, removal of playground equipment, and groundworks. Works are undertaken predominantly at Council owned Parks and Open Spaces and boundaries adjacent to Highways. Work volume is variable with seasonal peaks and troughs in demand or triggered by specific projects and initiatives the Council are working on. The appointed contractor/s would have the ability to react quickly in certain circumstances to secure sites that have been targeted by vandals or thieves or that may pose an urgent health and safety risk. As such this aspect of the work may suit a locally based contractor with readily available resource in the area as opposed to a dedicated to Harrow resource. We are currently considering how to approach the market to ensure we can deliver the above works to offer the best possible outcomes for our residents. To assist us with developing the correct tender specification we would welcome your feedback on a delivery approach.
