Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the Pioneer Group Grounds Maintenance Services, conducted by The Pioneer Housing and Community Group Limited, is centred in Birmingham, UK. The industry category is grounds maintenance services, and the legal basis follows the UK Public General Act 2023/54. The process initially involved an open procedure, but as of 10th November 2025, a tender cancellation notice was issued, indicating the cancellation of the current contract, with plans to initiate a fresh procurement process in 2026. Earlier, an award had been made to M&BG Limited with a contract due to commence on 1st December 2025 for a duration of three years, including options for extension, making it potentially a five-year contract.

The procurement offers ample growth opportunities especially for SMEs involved in grounds maintenance services. With the contract's substantial initial term and potential for extension, businesses could leverage this opportunity to establish a long-term relationship with a public authority. Companies specialising in landscaping, hedge and grass cutting, tree works, and garden management, particularly those with readiness for large scale operations, would find this contract appealing. Although the tender has been cancelled for the current term, it remains a critical opportunity once retendered in 2026.
