Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by Livv Housing Group involved a tender for "Grounds Maintenance Services" within the services industry, specifically targeting providers capable of delivering grounds maintenance across multiple sites, primarily in the Borough of Knowsley, Merseyside, and potentially throughout North West England. The procurement was conducted through an open procedure, and the tender process has reached its award stage, with an active contract valued at £933,000, which commenced in May 2021 for a duration of two years with an option to extend for an additional year based on performance and operational needs.

This opportunity for grounds maintenance services presents significant potential for businesses engaged in the landscaping and maintenance sectors. Companies specialising in services such as grass cutting, hedge trimming, and tree surgery, among others, would be particularly well-positioned to compete for this contract. The Livv Housing Group also allows various subsidiary entities to procure services from the successful provider, thereby expanding the potential market and increasing business growth opportunities for qualified contractors in the region.
