Summary of the contracting process

Cranbrook Town Council recently completed a public procurement process for grounds maintenance services for the Country Park, public open spaces, and green spaces within Cranbrook. The procurement, under the main category of services, was conducted through an open tender method, specifically a below-threshold open competition. The relevant industry category is planting and maintenance services of green areas. This process, which has gone to the contract stage, saw Tony Benger Landscaping selected as the supplier. The contract, valued at £203,426 gross, runs from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2029 in the UKK43 region.

This procurement opportunity creates significant potentials for businesses specialising in horticulture and landscaping. Firms that offer environmentally-sensitive maintenance, including grass management, weed control, and shrub maintenance, could benefit from engaging in similar contracts. With small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) featuring prominently in the bidding process, such businesses are well-positioned to compete and grow by securing similar opportunities. Participating in public sector tenders can help enterprises expand their portfolios and establish a broader presence in the public domain.
