In plain English
Together Housing Group is looking for companies to look after and improve about 32 children's playgrounds across Lancashire, Calderdale and Salford. The work is split into two parts: ongoing maintenance and safety inspections for the whole group, and designing, supplying and installing new play equipment or full replacement playgrounds.
What the buyer wants
• Lot 1 (single provider): annual safety inspections, routine servicing, reactive and emergency repairs, replacing worn parts, maintaining safety surfacing, minor refurbishments, condition surveys and asset reporting across all sites. • Lot 2 (up to three providers): design, supply, install and commission new play equipment, plus major refurbishment or full replacement of playgrounds across the housing portfolio. • Bidders must show relevant playground experience, qualified inspection capability and appropriate safety and insurance credentials.
Lots
- Playground maintenance and repair services , covering routine, reactive and corrective works
- Playground design and installation services, including the supply and installation of new play equipment as well as the delivery of full replacement playgrounds
Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
Lot 1 requires a single provider able to inspect and maintain around 32 sites across two regions, and both lots demand proven playground experience, recognised inspection qualifications and high-value insurance, which will put them out of reach for most small firms unless they have a strong track record in play equipment work.
How to bid
This is a framework: the buyer picks a set of suppliers now and awards work to them over several years. If you are not on it when it is awarded, you usually cannot win work from it until it is re-tendered, so this is the window to bid.
