1819-0029b - Operation, delivery and facilities management of Hayward Adventure Playground

This contract is for the operation, delivery and facilities management of Hayward Adventure Playground. The focus of Hayward's adventure play services will be on disabled children and young people, their siblings and families.

The playground will be available for disabled children and young people across the borough and will engage with them through quality adventure play opportunities based on the Playwork Principles and developed through regular consultation, engagement, reflection, review and evaluation of services.

Hayward will provide an offer that is free at the point of access and free for children and young people to choose how they play. However, due to the range of children and young people's additional needs which must be met safely in the adventure play environment, Hayward will not operate a model where children and young people with SEND are free to 'come and go'.

Although the provider(s) will be required to present a business plan that may include some charged-for services and income generation opportunities, these activities must not impact on the core offer of adventure play procured through the specification.
