Structural Bench Maintenance

Description

RBGE currently have 150+ benches located within various areas of the Edinburgh Garden covering an area of 32 Hectare. Each bench has an expected life span of 10 years. These benches form part of a commemorative scheme whereby visitors can pay for a memorial to loved ones for a period of ten years. The Edinburgh Garden now has reached capacity in the amount of benches it can accommodate. The existing supply contract expires on 31 March 2021. The new contract length will be for an initial 3 year period with optional 2 year extension. (5 Years in total - 31 March 2026) RBGE are looking to award a new contract for the structural maintenance of bought benches with the additional option to purchase individual benches (if the need arises). The repairs to the existing benches should reflect the use of the current material which is sustainably sourced oak.
