Sunshine Coast Council (Council) manages a range of Playground, Fitness and Recreation Assets that require periodic inspections, servicing and maintenance to ensure safety, compliance and functionality.

This Contract will be for a three (3) year period with an optional 2 x 12 month extension options

Council will award one Contractor per portion. Respondents may submit an offer for one (1) or more Separable Portions. Council reserves the right to award one or more Separable Portions to one or more Respondents. Council may decide not to award a Separable Portion if no Tender offers best value for money.
