Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Trafford College procured grounds maintenance services for the Trafford and Stockport College Group. The requirement is grounds upkeep at the college site in Altrincham, Greater Manchester (WA14 5PQ); the tender also lists broad delivery locations including the UK and other territories. This is a services contract, classified as grounds maintenance (CPV 77314000). The published scope gives no task-by-task breakdown, so the defined requirement is grounds maintenance rather than a specified package of individual landscaping, planting or cleaning activities. The buyer is Trafford College.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Alben Landscapes Ltd. The award date was 24 September 2026, and the awarded value is £205,294.69. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029. The estimated procurement value was £300,000. It was run as an open procedure. The tender deadline was 31 August 2026. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the award records one selected supplier. No lots or evaluation criteria are set out in the published process information.

For grounds maintenance firms, this award is evidence of a multi-year requirement from Trafford College and the Trafford and Stockport College Group, focused on maintaining college grounds in the Altrincham area. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to demonstrate the practical capacity to deliver grounds maintenance reliably across an institutional site and to sustain service over a multi-year contract. The open procedure and SME suitability indicate that smaller firms could be relevant competitors, provided they can meet the operational demands. The award identifies a specialist landscape contractor as the selected supplier; relevant grounds-maintenance experience and the ability to organise staff, equipment and regular site work would therefore be useful credentials. The stated requirement does not establish particular accreditations or technical specialisms.
