Summary of the contracting process

Gateway Housing Association has completed the procurement process for the "Grounds Maintenance and Associated Services 2024" contract, targeting the provision of grounds maintenance services within London (region UKI). This open procedure aimed to establish a bespoke framework agreement, allowing call-off contracts for up to four years. The services fall under the industry category of "Grounds maintenance services" (CPV code 77314000). Key stages included a tender period ending on 19th February 2024, and the awarding of contracts took place shortly after on 1st November 2024. The total contract value is £726,000 GBP.

This tender creates significant opportunities for businesses specialising in grounds maintenance and associated services. With a framework agreement that permits ongoing call-off contracts, large-scale companies as well as SMEs, like Aspire Community Works, are well-suited to compete. The involvement of multiple suppliers—Natural Elements UK Limited, Cleanscapes Ltd, and Aspire Community Works—demonstrates the competitive nature and the potential for robust business growth within this sector. The procurement process emphasises quality (60%) and price (40%), offering a balanced opportunity for well-rounded service providers.
