In plain English
Dumfries and Galloway Council wants to hire a contractor to carry out annual safety inspections of about 280 play areas and outdoor sports and play sites across the region. The estimated value is £100,000, and the work is due between late 2026 and early 2027.
What the buyer wants
• Carry out annual inspections on approximately 280 sites, including play areas, outdoor gyms, sand and water play areas, pump tracks, skateparks and MUGAs (multi-use games areas) • Hold a play inspection qualification at RPII (Register of Play Inspectors International) Annual Inspection level • Complete all inspections within a maximum two-month period, starting later in 2026 and running into early 2027
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: The notice requires an RPII Annual Inspection qualification and completion of about 280 sites within a maximum two-month window, which could rule out small businesses without qualified inspectors or the capacity to cover the whole region in that time.
Always check the tender documents.
