Summary of the contracting process

In the NHS Shared Business Services (NHS SBS) Grounds Maintenance and Associated Services Framework, NHS SBS acted on behalf of various NHS and Social Care organisations in the United Kingdom. This procurement process focused on services in the grounds maintenance industry, classified under CPV code 77314000, and included multiple specialised lots such as tree care, winter services, and pest control. The procurement method utilised was an open procedure, and the framework's total estimated value was £100 million, stretching over a contract period from 14 October 2024 to 13 October 2028. The procurement involved a comprehensive tender process initially announced on 25 January 2024, with the tender period ending on 8 March 2024. The procurement process culminated in an award on 13 September 2024 and was subsequently published on 10 June 2025, marking the award stage of this initiative.

This framework offers substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in grounds maintenance and related services, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). It encourages SMEs to participate by making the procurement process accessible, thus fostering competition and innovation in areas such as pest control, fencing, and hard surface landscaping. Its substantial scope and emphasis on sustainability and social value make it particularly appealing for businesses committed to these areas. Companies with expertise in any of the specialised lots within the agreement are well-suited to compete, providing them with the chance to secure a part of the significant contract value and to build lasting relationships with NHS organisations and other approved bodies.
