Summary of the contracting process

Acis Group Limited procured grounds maintenance and tree management services for its East and West areas. The requirement covered grounds maintenance in Lincolnshire and South Yorkshire, alongside tree management in both areas. Grounds maintenance included general maintenance services and, for the West area, litter picking and removal of fly-tipping. Tree management included tree surveys, tree-risk assessments and tree cutting. The procurement was divided between grounds maintenance and tree-management requirements for each area. The awarded East grounds-maintenance service is being delivered in Lincolnshire. Acis Group Limited is a public body focused on housing and community amenities, so suppliers serving housing estates, communal land and related outdoor environments are the relevant market.

The procurement has been completed. It used an open procedure, with selection based on price, and received three bids for Lot 1. The tender deadline and bid opening were 18 September 2023 at 11:00, with bids valid for 90 days. The East grounds-maintenance lot was awarded to Continental Landscapes Ltd and Krinkels UK Limited, with contracts signed on 2 February 2024. One contract is valued at £1,302,000 and a later active contract is valued at £1,562,137.83, covering 2,520 days. The latter includes a 20% modification. £70,000 of the contract was identified for weed spraying subcontracting. The West grounds-maintenance and both tree-management lots were unsuccessful or discontinued. Further demand was anticipated around 2031.

This requirement indicates demand for suppliers able to deliver grounds maintenance at housing-related sites across Lincolnshire, with sufficient operational capacity for a multi-year regional service. Relevant capability includes routine grounds maintenance, responding to ad-hoc orders, weed spraying and managing volume changes. The East requirement also shows that the buyer is willing to consider more than one substantial grounds-maintenance provider and permits subcontracting for defined activities. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate reliable workforce and equipment deployment across dispersed sites, effective scheduling and quality control, and the ability to manage price and volume changes over a long contract. For future competition, businesses combining grounds-maintenance delivery with robust commercial controls and subcontractor management would be well placed.
