Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Hopwood Hall College is procuring grounds maintenance services for its Rochdale Campus, at St Mary’s Gate. The requirement covers the routine and planned maintenance of college grounds and outdoor areas, providing ongoing grounds care for the college’s site. This is a services contract rather than a goods supply or construction project. The buying organisation is Hopwood Hall College, based in Rochdale, England. The procurement is categorised as grounds maintenance services (CPV 77314000). Businesses that provide commercial grounds maintenance for education, public sector or comparable institutional sites may find the scope relevant, particularly where they can manage regular outdoor maintenance across a college campus and meet the operational requirements set out in the tender documents.

The process reached the tender stage: Hopwood Hall College invited offers through an open procedure. Bids had to be submitted by 12:00 on 19 August 2026. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029, giving a three-year delivery period. Its estimated total value is £425,000, including the stated GBP currency. The procurement is for a single grounds maintenance service requirement rather than separately described lots. The opportunity is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Offers are to be made against the requirements in the tender documents, which provide the basis for the competition. The process is recorded as a tender invitation rather than an award or completed contract.

This opportunity suits established commercial grounds maintenance contractors and smaller specialist firms able to provide reliable services for a college campus. Relevant suppliers are likely to be those with practical capability in maintaining institutional outdoor spaces, organising planned and routine grounds work, and deploying staff, equipment and supervision consistently over a multi-year service arrangement. The requirement may also suit businesses experienced in working around an active education environment, where safe, dependable and well-coordinated delivery is important. Hopwood Hall College has identified the contract as suitable for SMEs, so smaller providers with the operational capacity to manage the service should consider competing, either independently or with delivery partners where that supports the required coverage.
