How Parks Procurement Works
- Parks inventory audit — Parks operations lead totals goals needed across recreation centers + community pitches + youth league hosting. Surfaces under-inventory for weekend tournament use.
- Quote request — Email bulk@taysports.com or fill /b2b form with: number of parks, size mix, destination ZIP, target delivery.
- Procurement consortium routing — If your city uses Sourcewell / OMNIA / AEPA / BuyBoard / TIPS, provide the contract number. We route accordingly. Otherwise direct PO.
- PO + documentation — Provide W-9 (US) or VAT-applicable invoice (UK), Certificate of Insurance naming municipality as additional insured, EN 16579 attestation, MSDS.
- Multi-park split delivery — Goals ship from US warehouse (LTL) or container (international) to each park's specified location. Hand-truck unload on signature.
- Parks crew onboarding — Quick-start card + setup video. Optional Zoom session for parks operations team on orders 10+ goals across multiple parks.
Parks Department Budget Ranges
Municipal parks procurement typically delivers 40-55% lower per-unit cost vs catalog vendors through consortium pricing + direct manufacturer relationship.
- Small city parks refresh (4-8 goals) — Recreation center + 2-3 parks: roughly $2,500-$5,500.
- Mid-size city parks program (10-20 goals) — 4-8 parks + community pitches: roughly $5,500-$12,000.
- Large city / county program (25-50 goals) — Multi-park network + tournament hosting: roughly $14,000-$28,000.
- UK council pitch program (15-40 goals) — Borough / district council pitch refresh: roughly £6,500-£18,000.
Parks Buyer FAQ
Do you supply through Sourcewell / OMNIA Partners / NRPA vendor programs?
We are happy to submit to public-sector procurement consortiums. We currently respond to RFPs from city parks departments and recreation centers via Sourcewell, OMNIA Partners, AEPA, BuyBoard (Texas), and TIPS-USA channels. Provide your consortium contract number with the inquiry and we will route through that procurement vehicle.
What about UK council-owned pitch programs and Sport England funding?
Yes. UK local authorities (district / borough / county councils) procuring portable goals for council pitches receive the same EN 16579 / BS 8462 attestation and competitive bulk pricing. Sport England Movement Fund and council capital schemes are eligible funding routes; we provide quotes formatted for grant applications. Lead times to UK ports 28-35 days sea freight.
How do you handle multi-park split delivery (single PO, multiple parks)?
Standard. A typical city parks PO covers 4-12 parks under one purchase order, with goals split-delivered to each park's maintenance shed or recreation center. Single invoice from us, single PO from your parks finance office; each park gets its own packing list and freight tracking. No extra split-delivery fee under 4 destinations; nominal fee for 5+.
Are the goals safe for unattended use on public pitches?
Yes — this is the primary safety case for inflatable portable goals on municipal pitches. EN 16579 / BS 8462 tip-over resistance testing addresses the documented incident pattern of children climbing on metal goal frames. Inflatable goals deflate under sustained climbing load rather than tipping over rigid; anchor system (sand/water bag or stake) keeps the deflated frame in position. We provide written safety attestation for parks risk-assessment files.
Net-30 terms for municipal / city / county / borough procurement?
Yes — standard for government entity buyers. Provide the municipality's tax ID and standard procurement contact; we set up net-30 terms with the appropriate documentation (W-9 for US, VAT-applicable invoice for UK). First-order municipalities sometimes start with 50/50 prepay/balance moving to full net-30 on subsequent orders.
What size mix do parks departments typically order?
Most municipal parks orders cover 3-4 SKU sizes: 8'×6' (small recreation, 4v4), 12'×6' (small-sided pitch, 5v5), 18.5'×6.5' (mid-size pitch, 7v7 / 9v9), 24'×8' (full-size pitch). City recreation centers running adult intramural typically need 18.5'×6.5' or 24'×8'. Council-owned pitches in the UK often need the mid-sizes for youth football matches under FA pathway.
How quickly can parks crews set up and pack away the goals?
Single parks crew member can inflate and stake a goal in 90 seconds with the included pump. Pack-away is similarly fast. For weekend tournament setup on 8-12 pitches, a 2-person parks crew handles full setup in 20-30 minutes. The operational saving vs metal frame goals (which require 2 crew + 5-10 min each) is significant for parks departments running weekend league play.
What about anti-theft / weather protection on public parks?
Inflatable goals deflate for storage so they're typically packed away after each session rather than left on the pitch. Weather-rated PVC/TPU material is rated for outdoor use; freeze-thaw cycling tested as part of EN 16579 compliance. UV resistance covers 2-3 years of outdoor exposure; storing deflated in maintenance shed between sessions extends service life to 5-7 years.
