Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Historic Environment Scotland sought suppliers for a grounds maintenance contract across multiple sites in the South West of Scotland, including Dumfries, Galloway, and Ayrshire. This procurement, described under CPV code 77314000, falls within the services category and followed the open procedure. The tender process, initiated in February 2025, proceeded through a series of bids before resulting in contracts awarded on 20th May 2025. The procurement was divided into three lots, with each lot ultimately awarded to Galloway Groundworks Ltd. The organisation responsible for the procurement process was Historic Environment Scotland, a national or federal agency based in Edinburgh, with key administrative functions focused on conservation, heritage, tourism, and the built environment.

This tender offers potential for business growth to companies involved in grounds maintenance, such as those specialising in landscape management, environmental services, and horticultural enterprises. The procurement necessitated suppliers to meet stringent quality criteria, including skills of workers, health and safety, and environmental policies, alongside competitive pricing. Galloway Groundworks Ltd, as a small or medium-sized enterprise, demonstrated capability in these areas and secured all three lots. Businesses that meet these requirements and possess the capacity to provide services across different geographical locations stand a strong chance of successfully competing in similar procurement opportunities. The recurring nature of the contract, with provisions for potential extensions, presents ongoing avenues for business growth and impact.
