Description
We are seeking permission to procure the street cleansing consumables required for the council to provide the newly insourced street cleansing service. The street cleansing service is being brought back inhouse having been delivered by an external contractor since 2017. The new service will commence on 1st April 2025 but we require the supplies to be on site by 24th March 2025.
The products required need to meet the following brief:
The items will be used to deliver the street cleansing service, allowing for Merton to be kept clean, tidy and safe for residents and visitors of the borough.
Trigger litter pickers are needed as part of the service, the product needs to be sturdy and lightweight. They also need to prevent over stretching and bending of front-line staff.
Wide broom heads are needed for clearing large debris, such as leaves, rubble, soil and mud on uneven surfaces.
Hard broom heads are needed for clearing large debris such as leaves, rubble, soil and mud on uneven surfaces.
Flicker brooms (for mechanical sweepers) are needed to help clean small spaces such as junction boxes and channels. The broom can also be used to sweep dirt onto a shovel for easy disposal.
Shovels to be used in conjunction with brushes to help with moving detritus into barrows. Shovels need to be relatively lightweight and strong, as well as producing limited noise and damage when scraping against a pavement.
Broom handles are needed that can fit multiple brush heads, allowing for sustainable repairing of items such as brushes and shovels.
Snow shovels will need to have a wider base than a normal shovel to help with clearing leaves and snow.
All items will need to be delivered by 24th March 2025, with a view to ordering new supplies as and when required throughout the life of the contract.
