Summary of the contracting process

The Crescent Purchasing Consortium Limited (CPC), based in Salford, United Kingdom, has completed the procurement process for a framework agreement to provide Grounds Maintenance Services. This comprehensive project spans across various regions including the North East, North West, Yorkshire & The Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East, South West, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, and the Channel Islands & Isle of Man. Under the Open procedure, this tender covers a wide scope of services within the education sector, and the final awards were communicated on 17th February 2025. Notably, numerous lots received active awards, each with a designated group of suppliers ensuring quality and cost-effective grounds maintenance solutions for CPC's consortium members.

By participating in this framework, businesses can tap into a substantial market serving educational institutions, local authorities, and the wider public sector. This offers opportunities for both large and small-to-medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) across the United Kingdom to expand their client base and demonstrate their capabilities. Given the broad geographical coverage, companies specialising in landscaping, maintenance services, and those able to provide social value initiatives have a competitive edge. This framework encourages a wide range of suppliers to engage in collaborative and innovative approaches, potentially securing growth and sustained business relationships across multiple territories in the UK.
