Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham City Council procured hedge cutting works across England under the title “CPU 8486 – GAS Hedges – 2026 two visits”. The requirement was for a hedge cutting service to be delivered through two visits, called off from the CPU 5293 Hedge Cutting Service Framework. The procurement was classified as construction work, although the operational requirement is grounds maintenance focused on hedge cutting. Nottingham City Council is the buying organisation, based at Loxley House, Station Street, Nottingham. The work covered the council’s requirement in England. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community and social enterprises, making it relevant to specialist grounds maintenance contractors and organisations able to undertake planned hedge cutting services at public-sector sites.

This procurement has been awarded and is complete. It was a call-off from the CPU 5293 Hedge Cutting Service Framework, using the framework’s other procurement method. The award was made on 29 May 2026 to J A Kent Services (East Midlands) Ltd. The awarded value was £130,837.74, including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 1 June 2026 to 1 December 2026. The tender submission deadline was 25 May 2026 at 12:00. The requirement covered two hedge-cutting visits. The council’s estimated tender value and the award value are both £130,837.74. The procurement was categorised as works, with SME and VCSE suitability recorded. One supplier is recorded as receiving the award.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates a defined requirement for planned hedge cutting delivered through a public-sector framework call-off. A credible competitor would need practical hedge-cutting capability, suitable equipment and enough operational capacity to complete repeat visits across the council’s service area. Experience of delivering grounds maintenance or arboricultural work for public bodies would help demonstrate reliable mobilisation, site management, health and safety control and consistent service quality. The recorded suitability for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises indicates that smaller specialist contractors can be relevant where they can meet the framework’s requirements and manage the required workload. Competitors should be prepared to evidence a dependable workforce, environmental and waste-handling arrangements, clear scheduling, and the ability to deliver work consistently across multiple locations.
