"description": "The current GM 2021-24 framework provides HCC and other local Contracting Authorities with an option to call off a range of grounds maintenance works. The new GM 2025-2030 framework proposed adapts the existing framework structure, using geographical lot areas as well as distinct lots for works required. Works required will vary by the nature of the sites, and could suit a variety of contractors; see indicative tasks: Standard sites: maintenance of flower beds, borders, hedges, shrubs, grass cutting, removal of leaves and litter, and weed control. Standard + Sports Facilities sites: as per above, also including large field works, line drawing for sports areas, and setup and maintenance of sports equipment. The proposed lot structure is as follows: Lot 1: Standard - West (including South Central, the New Forest, and Test Valley) Lot 2: Standard - Central (including Winchester, Basingstoke and Deane, North East and Hart) Lot 3: Standard - East (including East Hampshire, South East Hampshire) Lot 4: Standard - covering all areas (successful contractors in Lots 1, 2, and 3 will automatically be included in Lot 4) Lot 5: Standard + Sports - West (including the New Forest and Test Valley) Lot 6: Standard + Sports - Central (including Southampton, Winchester, and Basingstoke and Deane) Lot 7: Standard + Sports - East (including South East Hampshire, East Hampshire, North East and Hart) Lot 8: Standard + Sports - covering all areas (successful contractors in Lots 5, 6, and 7 will automatically be included in Lot 8) Contractors will be able to bid for any number of lots, but will only be awarded a maximum of 2 geographical lots and corresponding all-Hampshire lot (constituting matching area lots in each lot category, i.e., Lot 1: West, and Lot 5: West). Contractors will not be able to bid for Lots 4 or 8; winners of lots 1-3 or 5-7 respectively will be appointed to these lots automatically. This will allow flexibility to cover a range of works and work areas over the duration of the framework.",
