Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the Grounds Maintenance Contract with Crowthorne Parish Council has recently completed, progressing from the tender stage to award stage, with PGSD Limited emerging as the supplier. This contract encompasses grounds maintenance over a four-year period, from June 2025 to March 2029, across various sites including The Morgan Recreation Ground and Circle Hill Woods. The option to extend the contract by an additional year is contingent upon pricing and performance. Located in Crowthorne, Berkshire, the council initiated an open competition below the threshold, guided by legal frameworks such as UKPGA 2023/54. All submissions for the tender were required to be emailed by the deadline of 28 April 2025, with site visits on 22 and 24 April 2025 providing potential contractors insight into the project's scope.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in landscaping and grounds maintenance, particularly those that can deliver services locally within Berkshire. Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) were especially encouraged, as evidenced by PGSD Limited's successful bid which exemplifies the potential for SMEs to secure substantial contracts outside of typical thresholds. The contract offers a predictable revenue stream over several years, bolstered by the possibility of a contract extension, making it a lucrative proposition for businesses focused on sustainable growth. Companies with expertise in horticultural services, sports fields maintenance, and tree care are particularly well-suited to benefit from such procurement opportunities.
