"lotDetails": {
"noLotsDivisionRationale": "Central Swindon North Parish Council (CSNPC) has chosen to procure this contract as a single integrated project rather than dividing it into separate lots. This decision is based on the following considerations: Efficiency and Coordination A single supplier will ensure seamless integration of play equipment, surfacing, fencing, and installation. Dividing the contract could introduce risks of delays or inconsistencies between suppliers. Single-Point Responsibility Appointing one contractor will simplify project management and accountability. This reduces potential disputes over responsibility for different elements of the project. Cost-Effectiveness Bundling all works under one contract may lead to economies of scale, reducing overall costs. Managing multiple smaller contracts could increase administrative and procurement costs. Specialist Supplier Expertise The required works are closely interlinked, meaning a single contractor with experience in play area design and installation is best placed to deliver a fully integrated solution. Future Flexibility This procurement is structured as a framework agreement or term contract, allowing additional works to be awarded under the same contract without needing separate procurements. For these reasons, CSNPC has opted for a single contract award while ensuring that all elements of the project meet the necessary standards for quality, safety, and inclusivity."
