Approval to accept tenders for the Supply, Installation and Maintenance of Outdoor Playground Equipment and Play Area Surfacing

 

 

Sefton Council’s Green Sefton service manages 100 play facilities including children’s playgrounds, multi-use games areas and outdoor gyms, and the service annually has need to maintain these sites, replacing play equipment and surfacing to ensure reasonable standards of maintenance are continued. 

Given the annual budget available and cumulative level of spending on some types of item, in order to meet procurement requirements, it was agreed with Cabinet Member that a procurement framework be put in place to ensure best value, and a faster speed when procuring ad-hoc small works across the year.

 

As such Green Sefton has publicly tendered for the Supply, Installation and Maintenance of Outdoor Playground Equipment and Play Area Surfacing and this report seeks to make awards following the completion of this process.

 

The tender has sought a supplier for a term period of 4 years, with the contracts taking effect immediately through to April 2029.
