— Three Corners,
— Waterside.
The services under this contract will be available for all children and young people across the borough and will engage with them through quality adventure play opportunities based on the Playwork Principles and developed through regular consultation, engagement, reflection, review and evaluation of services.

The council will expect the providers to use feedback from user groups and stakeholders, as well as data collected about the demographics of the children and young people accessing the adventure playgrounds, to inform how the service is managed and developed.
