Supply and installation of new play equipment (ages from 2 - 14 years) including play area surfacing. The principal focus of the new play equipment is imagination and inclusivity, providing play items for 2-14-year-old age group. The Council is seeking a play area which incorporates imagination, challenge, and excitement for the target age group. The list of play equipment items is intentionally generic by description, allowing Contractors to use their innovation and experience from within their own organisations and product ranges. The Council is content with a range of materials to be use. The Council would seek to see the use of sustainable or environmentally friendly products which are durable in nature.
