Summary of the contracting process

The Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead Council (RBWM) is initiating a procurement process for grounds maintenance services, titled "RBWM Grounds Maintenance Procurement - PIN". This is a planning stage procurement in the services category, which covers the planting and maintenance of green areas, sports fields maintenance, and tree pruning and hedge trimming. The procurement is anticipated to be formally published in Autumn 2025, with services expected to commence no later than October 2026 after approximately five months of mobilisation. RBWM is conducting early market engagement and inviting suppliers to complete a survey by 17 January 2025, 1 pm. This procurement process is located in Windsor and Maidenhead, UKJ1 region.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses in the grounds maintenance sector, particularly those specialising in green area services, sports fields maintenance, and tree care. The estimated annual spend of the current contract is around £1.5 million, which indicates a substantial financial opportunity. The procurement is likely to involve multiple market engagement phases, thus presenting numerous points for businesses to get involved. Businesses with experience in large-scale public service delivery and the ability to mobilise quickly will be well-suited to compete for this contract. Interested suppliers are encouraged to engage early by participating in the survey and setting up one-to-one discussions to provide feedback and gain insights into the potential procurement requirements.

Notice Title

RBWM Grounds Maintenance Procurement - PIN

Notice Description

This is a PIN inviting suppliers to respond to a survey for early engagement purposes.

Lot Information

Lot 1

1. The primary purpose of this prior information notice (PIN) is to alert potential suppliers to a potential opportunity in relation to grounds maintenance services across Windsor and Maidenhead and to invite them to provide initial feedback to assist with its delivery model. At present, the lotting structure is to be determined. It is likely the opportunity will be formally published in Autumn 2025. Future waves of market engagement are envisaged. We are simply exploring options at this stage. 2. This contract term has not been determined, nor has the financial envelope. However, the current contract is approximately 10+5 with a spend of PS1.5m per annum. This is not a commitment from RBWM but more so to give potential suppliers a flavour of historic activities. 3. The services are a core requirement for RBWM and it is expected that commencement of the new contracts shall be no later than October 2026, following around 5 months of mobilisation. However, this is yet to be finalised. RBWM is currently considering its procurement route - we are not making conclusive representations at this juncture. 4. RBWM is inviting suppliers to respond to the below survey: https://forms.office.com/e/Y5FvkFAzdL. Please feel free to provide as little or as much detail as you wish - most questions are non-mandatory. In the alternative, and should you have any other questions, please contact: Joey.Stanford@RBWM.gov.uk. We would also welcome 1-2-1 Teams discussions - simply e-mail Joey Stanford (above) with names of attendees and preferred dates. Please note that the deadline for feedback is 17/01/2025 by 1pm.
