Summary of the contracting process

Dixons Academies Charitable Trust Ltd has recently completed the procurement process for grounds maintenance services, classified under CPV code 77314000. The procurement was divided into two lots: Lot 1 covering the Yorkshire region and Lot 2 covering the North West region. Both contracts were awarded on 24 October 2024 to Alben Landscapes Ltd, for amounts of £236,568.92 and £64,191.89 respectively. This tender followed an open procedure and included a 10-day standstill period to ensure compliance with Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The procurement focused on service delivery, customer care, added value, and price. Additionally, it offered a contract period of 60 months, split into an initial 36 months with an option to extend by two further 12-month periods.

This tender provides significant business opportunities for companies specialising in grounds maintenance services. With substantial contract values awarded, it represents a key growth avenue, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like Alben Landscapes Ltd, which secured both lots. Companies with strong capabilities in service quality, mobilisation, and customer care stand a good chance of being competitive in such tenders. Furthermore, the structured procurement process and extended contract periods ensure long-term business stability and potential for continued engagement with public sector clients. The regions covered by this tender also open up geographical diversification for businesses operating in these locales.
