Description

Biggleswade Town Council (BTC) operates over 16 play areas with additional green open spaces across the town. There are in excess of 100 pieces of play equipment and furniture in place of various types and specification from a range of manufacturers.

BTC has a Public Realm team which maintains all of the play areas and routinely inspects them for condition and safety. The most recent inspection has provided further safety compliance assurance on the current condition of all play equipment.

BTC is inviting expressions of interest from suppliers to work with the town council to conduct site surveys of all play areas and determine which items require maintaining and potentially replacing. Ground surfacing is included in this work.

Additionally, specialist tools and training is sought for the BTC Public Realm team from interested suppliers to ensure that BTC is well prepared for future maintenance requirements.

Expressions of interest from contractors are open to professional interpretation on the requirement, specifications and ongoing maintenance. BTC hence invites interested contractors to contact the Public Realm Manager to arrange site visits to provide more guidance and detail on the current position.
