Evaluation Mechanism:
Most Economically Advantageous Tender (MEAT)
Description:
Loughwell Farm Park invites tenders for the supply, delivery, installation and commissioning of a commercial-grade outdoor/indoor inflatable park measuring approximately 100ft x 50ft. The equipment is required for use within an established family visitor attraction and must be specifically designed for repeated public use in a commercial setting. Safety is the overriding priority of this contract. The proposed inflatable park must demonstrate the highest standards of safe design, structural integrity, durability, stability and operational reliability, and must be fully suitable for intensive commercial use by children and families. The contract must include the complete inflatable unit, all blowers and associated equipment, anchoring or restraint systems as required, delivery, installation, commissioning, operating instructions, staff handover or training, warranty, and all relevant technical, safety and compliance documentation. The equipment must be suitable for both outdoor and indoor use, subject always to the manufacturer’s operating limits and safety instructions. Tenderers must demonstrate that the proposed inflatable park complies with the recognised safety standards and inspection requirements applicable to commercial inflatable play equipment. In particular, equipment should comply with BS EN 14960, which HSE identifies as the relevant standard for this type of inflatable play equipment. HSE also states that commercial play inflatables should display either a numbered PIPA tag or an ADiPs Declaration of Compliance to show compliance with BS EN 14960, together with written instructions for safe operation. Tenderers must therefore provide full details of compliance with BS EN 14960, together with all relevant inspection and safety documentation, including certification, operating manuals, maintenance requirements, supervision guidance, maximum user numbers, age/height restrictions where applicable, anchoring requirements, and emergency procedures. Full written instructions must be supplied for safe setup, operation, inspection, maintenance and shutdown. HSE guidance also notes that inflatables should not be used in winds above 24 mph / 38 km/h unless the manufacturer sets a lower limit, and safe use depends on proper anchoring, blower checks, pressure checks and written operating procedures. The successful tenderer must also demonstrate relevant experience in the manufacture and/or supply of commercial inflatable play equipment for public use and must provide details of warranty, aftersales support, spare parts availability, delivery timelines and installation arrangements. Award will be based on the most economically advantageous tender, with particular regard to safety compliance, technical suitability, delivery and installation, warranty and aftersales support, and price.
