Summary of the contracting process

Stirling Council recently completed a public procurement process for grounds maintenance services titled "Cutting of Verges, Visibility Splays and other areas." This contract, aimed at maintaining roadside verges and various vegetative spaces within the Stirling area, encompasses both rural and urban settings within the council's boundaries. The procurement stage was the award phase, with the contract being signed on 20th August 2024. The project included services such as grass cutting, hedge trimming, and vegetation clearing, and had a total value of £304,000. The primary procurement method was an open procedure, classified under CPV code 77314000.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in grounds maintenance and related horticultural services. With a focus on tasks like litter picking, hedge cutting, and meadow maintenance, companies experienced in these areas can leverage this contract to broaden their portfolio and establish a strong presence within the Stirling region. Given that the project was finalised with William Owen and Son, an SME based locally, similar small to medium-sized enterprises or those offering competitive pricing and high-quality service standards would be well-suited to compete in such tenders. The well-structured procurement approach by Stirling Council also suggests recurring opportunities, which can further aid business growth and long-term stability.
