What is being bought

Published requirement description

West Northamptonshire Council is seeking a qualified and experienced supplier to undertake essential upgrades and repairs to failed play surfaces and equipment at the Family Forum Centre. The current condition of these facilities has significantly hindered the Centre's ability to deliver its curriculum effectively and has limited the safe and purposeful use of the space by children and staff. The scope of work will include the assessment, refurbishment, and replacement of damaged or degraded play surfaces and equipment to restore the area to a high standard of safety, accessibility, and educational value. The successful supplier will be expected to provide durable, inclusive solutions that support the Centre's commitment to fostering physical development, imaginative play, and enriched learning experiences for all users.
