    Brief

    Chelmsford City Council is establishing a framework agreement with up to six suppliers to provide play area surfacing solutions for its portfolio of approximately 100 parks and play areas across Essex. The council, which maintains 17 parks with Green Flag status, is seeking qualified contractors with expertise in wet-pour play surfaces. Selected suppliers will be invited to submit competitive quotations for individual playground refurbishment projects throughout the framework agreement period. Each project will be awarded following a mini-competition process and confirmed by official council order. This is an opportunity to become an approved supplier for ongoing playground maintenance and improvement works across the city.
