Summary of the contracting process

Fenland District Council has completed the procurement process for a Horticultural Services Contract, now at the award stage. This contract, valued at £6,400,000, covers grounds maintenance services under the CPV classification 77314000. Situated in the East of England, United Kingdom, the contract runs from 1st November 2015 to 31st October 2025, with a recent 12-month extension applied. The procurement was conducted using a selective method through a restricted procedure, suited for large-scale projects above the threshold. The contracting phase concluded with an award notice published on 10th November 2025.

This contract award offers significant opportunities for businesses engaged in grounds maintenance services. Firms experienced in large-scale operations and capable of managing long-term commitments stand to benefit. While the initial contract period is significant, the final extension suggests the pending launch of a new procurement round, which small to medium enterprises might consider preparing for. Business growth can be fostered by responding to such comprehensive service demands from local government organisations like Fenland District Council.
