## Summary

Glasgow City Council appointed a supplier to carry out annual independent inspections of playground equipment and associated play areas across all equipped public play areas within the council boundary. The work covers RPII annual inspections, carried out in line with relevant industry standards, with detailed inspection reports, recommendations and risk assessments to support the safe management and maintenance of public play facilities. It is a public-sector inspection and safety-reporting service delivered across Glasgow. The requirement also covers related play-area inspection and reporting services, including pre- and post-installation inspections, ancillary item inspections, inclusive play inspections, play value inspections, condition reports, asset management reports, accident reports and vandalism reports. The main category is technical inspection services.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded through an open procedure. Play Services Ireland Ltd was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 12 August 2026 and is active, with a three-year contract period. Its value is £75,552. Glasgow City Council received one bid, which was submitted electronically by an SME; the bid was recorded as from outside the EU. The contract includes options for additional inspection services at the tendered rates, procured as required during the contract term. The awarded requirement covers three full cycles of annual inspections. The procurement was made against the Outdoor Play and Sports Facilities framework. The available outcome information identifies one successful supplier and one awarded lot.

For a future requirement from Glasgow City Council, credible suppliers would need specialist competence in inspecting public playground equipment and associated play areas, with RPII annual inspection capability and the ability to apply relevant industry standards. They would need to produce clear, detailed inspection reports, practical recommendations and risk assessments that help a council manage safety and maintenance across a substantial public estate. Useful breadth includes pre- and post-installation inspections, inclusive play and ancillary equipment inspections, condition and asset-management reporting, and reports following accidents or vandalism. The appointed supplier is an SME, showing that the requirement can suit a focused specialist rather than only a large general contractor. Delivery capacity must support repeated annual inspection cycles across Glasgow.
