Summary of the contracting process

Your Housing Group is seeking a single supplier to manage and deliver grounds maintenance across its properties throughout Yorkshire. The service covers maintenance of green areas, including tree pruning and hedge trimming, and related refuse and waste services. The work is for a housing portfolio, with property maps, a list of properties and a maintenance frequency schedule forming part of the specification. The buyer is Your Housing Group, based in Warrington. This is a region-wide service requirement rather than a supply-only purchase, and the appointed provider will be responsible for delivering the full scope across all locations.

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure. The contract is a single-supplier requirement with one lot, and the published evaluation combines quality method statements with price; economic and technical participation conditions apply. The enquiry deadline was 23 October 2026 at 12:00 BST, and the tender submission deadline is 11 November 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The expected award decision date is 11 January 2027. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2029, with three optional 12-month extensions, giving a maximum term to 31 March 2032. The estimated annual value is £125,000; the total estimated value is £800,000 including VAT (£666,666.67 excluding VAT). The tender was amended to replace the pricing schedule and KPI table; the submission deadline was unchanged.

The opportunity suits grounds maintenance contractors able to deliver a coordinated service across multiple housing locations in Yorkshire, including routine green-space upkeep, tree and hedge work, and associated waste services. The successful supplier must manage and deliver the complete service rather than provide a limited work package. The property maps, property notes and frequency schedule indicate that bidders should be prepared to plan work across a geographically dispersed portfolio and resource visits to the required timetable. The service is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises. Bids are assessed on quality method statements as well as pricing, so suppliers should be able to explain their delivery approach and provide competitive, clearly structured pricing. Economic and technical participation requirements are set out in the procurement questionnaire and tender documents.
