The Council were keen to maximise the play
value at both Grovehill Adventure Playground and Adeyfield
Adventure Playground.
The Council currently have an artificial pitch at Adeyfield
Adventure Playground, which is well used, both by the users of the
adventure playground and for external hire out of hours.
The Council have capital money allocated to install a new 3G pitch
at Grovehill and extend the playing area at Adeyfield Adventure
Playground with a new 3G pitch.
The Council carried out an open tender process and looked at both
schemes independently. The evaluation of Lot 1 identified ETC
Sports as the bidder providing best value for money of all the bids
received but unfortunately no bidders were able to match the brief
for Lot 2.
To award a contract to ETC Sports Surfaces
Limited for the installation of a new 3rd generation sports pitch
(3G) at Grovehill Adventure Playground (Lot 1) and carry out a
non-award for Adeyfield Adventure Playground (Lot 2).
The Council have already approved the capital
bid to carry out these works.
