About

Elephant Park (Petham Park) is seeking a supplier for replacement of its playground, including removal of existing equipment unless agreed otherwise, installation of a new wetpour safety surface that complies with BS EN 1176 and has been tested in accordance with BS EN 1177 and BS EN 7188, and supply and installation of new play equipment that provides a significant uplift in play value. The wetpour surface must have a minimum guarantee of 2 years (preferably longer) and a maintenance plan is a desirable additional service. Where possible the area and equipment should follow a jungle theme with a centrepiece designed to look like an elephant.

Insight

This could be ideal for playground installers and surfacing contractors experienced with wetpour safety surfacing and BS EN standards. Key considerations are meeting the specified standards and minimum 2-year guarantee, managing removal and replacement of existing equipment, and delivering a demonstrable uplift in play value; a maintenance plan is desirable.
