This contract focuses on maintaining ten industrial estates and one operational site within the Rochdale locality (UKD37 region), underscoring an emphasis on horticultural services. Initiated under an open procurement method, the tendered opportunity spanned from April to May 2025, while the resulting contract commenced on 14th July 2025 and is set to last for two years with a potential one-year extension. This venture, governed by the UK's legal directives, was designed as below threshold open competition, ensuring a comprehensive opportunity for prospective bidders.

Given its scale, small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in landscape maintenance and horticultural works are well positioned to benefit, particularly those located within the United Kingdom. The scope of work encompasses regular groundskeeping tasks such as grass cutting, shrub maintenance, and weed control, with ad-hoc activities included.
