The brief

Chelmsford City Council, in the heart of Essex, has within its stated priorities the creation and development of high-quality public spaces.

Seventeen of Chelmsford City Council’s main parks across the city received the Green Flag status in 2021 with two new sites- Galleywood Common and Frankland fields receiving a green flag award for the first-time last year.

The council owns around 100 play areas and as part of their maintenance plan will establish a framework of up to six suitable suppliers for the provision of Play Area Surfacing.

Appointment to the framework will recognise excellence in the provision of wet-pour play surfaces, and only those companies selected for inclusion on the framework agreement will be asked to provide quotations for the playground refurbishment projects throughout the life of the framework agreement.

This tender exercise is designed to select suppliers for inclusion on the framework agreement subsequent requests for quotations for individual projects will then be issued to all providers on the framework.

All call off contracts for works under the terms of the framework agreement will be the subject of a mini-competition and confirmed by a Chelmsford City Council Official Order.
