Notice Information

Notice Title

Grounds Maintenance & Planting Contract

Notice Description

Ross-on-Wye Town Council is responsible for areas of land situated within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and the Conservation Area. The current contracts for Grounds Maintenance and Planting are due to expire and the Council wishes to amalgamate the services into one contract to realise some financial savings whilst looking at on-going improvements to service delivery. The Contract consists briefly of designing a scheme for the planting and maintenance of formal beds, some within high profile areas within the town. There is a drive to move to a sustainable planting scheme for environmental and ecological benefits and therefore consideration will be given as to how the Contractor will seek to achieve this through an ambitious and creative design. Also included within the Contract is responsibility for grounds maintenance, i.e. grass cutting and strimming. The Council is aware the land within its control is widely used for amenity purposes and leisure activities and therefore ideas for developing the maintenance programme to achieve improved results will be welcomed. The Council will be looking at appointing a contractor with a proven track record in this sector and an organisation which can demonstrate a commitment to driving up standards through investing in its staff. A portfolio of previous schemes of work highlighting competency, creativity and capability will be welcome with all bids.
