Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Martlesham Parish Council is seeking a contractor for land maintenance and cleaning bus shelters in Martlesham, Suffolk. The work is a grounds maintenance service, including maintenance of green areas and sports fields. The requirement is intended to keep local land and facilities maintained, alongside the cleaning of bus shelters. The council is the buyer. The opportunity is described as a three-year service contract, with prices covering a year’s work from April 2027 to March 2028 and subsequent prices adjusted in line with the retail price index, excluding house prices.

The council invited tenders through an open, below-threshold procedure. The published contract period runs from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2030, with a possible two-year extension after a review. The estimated value is £32,000. The tender set noon on 3 November 2026 as the deadline for receiving tenders; bidders were asked to request the application pack by noon on 20 October 2026. Prices are to be based on the first year’s work, with later adjustments linked to the retail price index, excluding house prices. Small and medium-sized businesses are identified as suitable. No evaluation criteria or division into lots is set out.

This opportunity is suited to small and medium-sized contractors able to deliver routine land and grounds maintenance in Martlesham and clean bus shelters. Relevant suppliers are those with the practical workforce, equipment and scheduling capacity to maintain green spaces and sports fields while also carrying out shelter cleaning. The three-year service requirement, with the possibility of a further two years following review, favours businesses able to provide reliable ongoing delivery rather than a one-off job. Contractors whose services cover both grounds upkeep and cleaning may be well placed to meet the combined scope. The procurement does not set out specific accreditations, qualifications or experience thresholds, so suppliers should assess the full application pack for the detailed service requirements.
