The Police and Crime Commissioner for South Wales has completed a public procurement process for the "Provision of Grounds Maintenance and Specialist Habitat Management" services across its Force areas. This contract covers several locations, including small, localised police stations, large multi-occupancy buildings, and specific properties such as Police Headquarters and Unit 2 in South Wales. The industry category for this tender is grounds maintenance services, classified under the CPV code 77314000. This open procedure contract, with an award value of £465,000, was signed on 23 May 2025, marking its transition from tender to award stage.

Enterprises with expertise in handling large-scale and multifaceted projects, including habitat management, biodiversity enhancement, and tree maintenance, would be well-suited to compete for similar contracts in the future. The tender's requirements for flexibility and scalability to accommodate un-programmed work suggests that companies capable of delivering adaptable and comprehensive services are ideal candidates for this contract type. SMEs within the region also demonstrated competitive capabilities, as indicated by their successful participation in the bidding process, highlighting opportunities for smaller companies to engage with large-scale public infrastructure projects and form partnerships with major industry players.
