Lot Information
Lot 1
This is varied Grounds Maintenance contract; requiring high-quality maintenance of public access amenity sites, parks and roadside verges and infrastructure. Tenders will be assessed on the basis of their value for money and quality. Value for money is based on the costs itemised in tendered bids. The quality is more complex and includes Social Value factors such as experience, quality of service/product, locality and environmental policies. Recent relevant experience will be viewed favourably, particularly in applicable technical areas associated with the variety and scale of this programme of work. This might include grounds maintenance or horticultural expertise. The applicant is required to demonstrate excellent levels of care, flexibility and responsiveness. This quality also needs to be reflected in dealings or communication with the Parish Council and public. A demonstration of the proposed methodology and approach to the work will be advantageous.
