This ITT seeks to procure a number of suitably qualified and experienced suppliers for positions on a new framework agreement, providing council officers with a procurement route for new and improved play facilities. The location and specific features of any works to be procured through the framework will depend on the availability of funding and be based on the outcomes of targeted community consultation. The contract is anticipated to commence mid September 2025 and will continue for a period of three years, unless terminated in accordance with the Conditions of Contract. There is the potential for a contract extension of 1 year, depending on both the success in achieving the required outcomes and availability of further funding. Delivery Specifics and Logistics - suppliers tendering for a position on this framework will be experienced in working with local authorities and community partners to deliver compliant, innovative and exciting play opportunities, whilst also offering reassurances with regards to quality manufacturing and installation, together with value for money. Lotting - the framework agreement will be divided into two lots, to aid suppliers in applying for categories of work in which they specialise and avoiding the potential for suitable suppliers to decline the opportunity to tender. • Lot 1 - 'Supply and Installation of Play Equipment and Safer Surfacing' relates mostly to full turnkey packages of new play area design and build. • Lot 2 - 'Supply and Installation of Safer Surfacing (repairs and upgrades)' concerns specialist surfacing works on sites where play equipment is being retained or re-used. Suppliers have the option to bid for positions and can be awarded places in both lots if successful.
Lot 1 will be used for the procurement of new play equipment, which may include safer surfacing and ancillary items in the same scheme. Suppliers who successfully bid for positions on this lot will be expected to: - Complete site surveys, review tender information and produce design submissions/quotations for new or refurbished play areas. - Carry out site clearance and preparatory groundworks. - Supply and install play equipment, potentially with accompanying safer surfacing, boundary features, landscaping and other forms of surfacing. - Provide play equipment on a 'supply only' basis for installation by the council's own teams or local contractors. - Provide a comprehensive warranty, backup and spare parts service following the procurement of play equipment through the framework.
Lot 2 will be used for the procurement of safer surfacing repairs and upgrades to existing play areas where equipment is being retained, or in areas where the authority has already installed new items of play equipment. Suppliers who successfully bid for positions on this lot will be expected to: - Complete site surveys, review tender information and produce quotations for projects to be undertaken. - Carry out site preparation in advance of new surfacing (not including groundworks). - Supply and install new safer surfacing, to include wet pour, bonded rubber mulch and potentially artificial grass or carpet surfacing.
