Summary of the contracting process

The "Grounds Maintenance" contract, overseen by the Procurement and Logistics Service, pertains to services within the grounds maintenance industry in Northern Ireland (UKN). Initially signed on 5th April 2018 and valued at £27,000,000 GBP, the contract's duration has now been extended by an additional three months due to unforeseen circumstances under the provisions of Regulation 72 (1) (c) (i), (ii), and (iii). The procurement process is currently at the contract update stage, ensuring continued service coverage until the tender process concludes.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in grounds maintenance, tree pruning, hedge trimming, snow-clearing, and related survey services. With suppliers such as Clive Richardson Ltd, R M Greenkeeper Ltd, Ballygowan Contracts Ltd, Landscaping Centre Ltd, and Landscaping Centre already engaged, this contract can drive growth for companies within this sector, especially those based in Northern Ireland. The extension implies an immediate need for reliable service deliverables, making it a lucrative proposition for both large-scale enterprises and SMEs with expertise in various maintenance activities for green areas.
