Description

Doncaster Council ("the Council") is conducting this procurement process via Pro Contract to appoint a suitably qualified, experienced, and innovative organisation who can demonstrate their ability to work with the Council services including directorates of Public Health, Economy and Environment, Directorate of Finance and Corporate services and Learning Opportunities and Skills, and partners, including Sport England, park-focused groups and the wider, local community.
Doncaster Metropolitan Borough Council (DMBC) is seeking external consultancy support to develop a Play Park Strategy. The strategy will identify approach and opportunities for investment in park play equipment and its design that will improve the opportunities for young people to live healthy and active lives.
We are absolutely committed to co-producing interventions and activities that will change the current social norms in Doncaster's provision of Parks and green spaces in relation to tackling physical inactivity. We want this strategy to help to develop new ways of working, learning fast to change course where this provides a better route to secure participation of young people through investment of parks play equipment. We wish to appoint an innovative partner who will work with, challenge, and respond to our current thinking and approaches while at the same time developing a Doncaster specific Strategy.
This specification sets out the background to the commission, its aims, scope, timescales, outputs and management arrangements.
