Ongoing Maintenance & Inspection Services Scope: The contractor may be engaged for routine maintenance, annual safety inspections, and minor repairs beyond the defects liability period.

Future Play Area Developments Scope: The council may extend the contract to cover additional play area projects in other locations within the parish. Circumstances for Use: If the council intends to standardize equipment and surfacing across multiple sites, ensuring continuity of design and maintenance. 4.

  1. Extension Provisions This contract includes the potential for extensions, subject to performance, budget availability, and the ongoing needs of the Central Swindon North Parish Council (CSNPC). Extensions may be considered in the following circumstances: Additional Play Area Works: If the council identifies further play area improvement needs, such as expansion, additional equipment installation, or surfacing enhancements. Maintenance & Repairs: If there is a requirement for ongoing servicing, maintenance, or remedial works on the newly installed play area equipment and infrastructure. Future Play Area Projects: The contract may be extended to cover similar works in other locations within the parish if deemed cost-effective and beneficial. 2. Possible Extension Periods The initial contract term covers the design, supply, and installation of the inclusive play area. The contract may include one or more extensions, up to a total of two (2) years beyond the original contract period, at the council's discretion. Each extension will be reviewed and awarded based on performance, compliance with service levels, and available funding. 3. Justification for Extensions Ensuring consistency in design and installation quality across multiple sites. Avoiding delays and additional procurement processes if further works are needed. Leveraging economies of scale with a contractor already familiar with the site and requirements.
