Lot 1 • There will be 3 Suppliers on this lot. For items forming part of the catalogue : This will be operated on a Direct Award basis, the contract will be awarded to the Supplier offering the lowest price based on their catalogue submission. If there is more than one item required, the contract will be awarded to the Supplier with the lowest TOTAL price for all items. For requirements which arise outside of the catalogue (which includes additional groundwork) this will be subject to a pricing quotation exercise. Prices will be requested from all 3 Suppliers. The contract will be awarded to the Supplier offering the lowest price. Where catalogue products are required, but additional groundwork is needed, then the Supplier offering the lowest total price for all products and installation work required will be awarded the contract. Suppliers will not be able to re submit their pricing in respect of the catalogue products and additional price sought will purely be in respect of the groundwork / installation costs. In the event the lowest priced Supplier is unable to supply for any reason or cannot supply within the required timeframe, if applicable, then this will move to the next lowest priced Supplier that can meet the requirements. Prices submitted and evaluated as part of the tender must be fixed for 12 months. Towards the end of the 12 month period, all 3 Suppliers will be asked to re submit pricing for all of the equipment to cover the next 12 month period and this will be repeated every 12 months. Where a Supplier was previously unable to provide a particular product but can now do so, this can be added / priced for during this 12 month review process. Lot 2 This will be for bespoke projects which require a design element along with supply and installation. A further competition will be undertaken with all 3 Suppliers being invited to submit a proposal. Each further competition will be evaluated based on the following overarching criteria. Project specific questions will be developed under each of these headings: Quality 60% Social Value 10% Financial Rationale 30%

Notice description

Blackpool Council manage approximately 30 formal play areas across the town. These sites vary in size, age, condition, and functionality and are predominantly located in urban and coastal environments with exposure to high usage, anti social behaviour, vandalism, wet weather, and salt laden air. This framework will support the delivery of both small replacement works and large scale playground refurbishments, ensuring consistency, quality, durability, and value for money as well as building close relationships with a smaller amount of suppliers who can meet our needs, over the contract term. The framework will cover, but is not limited to: • Supply and installation of playground sports and activity equipment • Playground surfacing • Fencing and gates • Design and layout of play spaces • Project management from contract award to completion • Aftercare, maintenance support, and warranties

Contact removal rule: contacts/1.

Coverage and the source register.

What this export cannot show

Award values are not linked to a named supplier, and no ceiling or maximum amount is shown. Those facts stay on the official notice when the notice publishes them. A tender deadline, award dates, supplier sizes, lots, and option or renewal wording appear on contract pages only where a held notice states them. A held process counts as last at tender or planning only when that is the latest stage among the held releases. Where more than one supplier is named, the names are joint and no share is stated.
