UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, conducted by UK Research and Innovation, aims to secure grounds maintenance services for the period from 2025 to 2026. The contract, titled "CSP25226 - Grounds Maintenance 2025-2026," was handled through a limited competition procurement method, which falls below the threshold for wider competitive tenders. This process is already at the award stage, with the contract awarded and effective as of 23 July 2025, running until 30 June 2026. The procurement pertains to the services category, specifically involving grounds maintenance, and is located within the United Kingdom. The contracting authority, UK Research and Innovation, based in Swindon, collaborates with UK Shared Business Services Ltd to manage the procurement process.

This tender creates significant opportunities for businesses specialising in grounds maintenance and related services to engage with public sector clients. SMEs, in particular, may find this to be an ideal contract, given the limited competition nature of the procurement. Opportunities like this can drive business growth through stable, government-associated work, and provide a valuable reference for future tenders. John O'Conner (Grounds Maintenance) Ltd, as an SME, demonstrates the suitability of businesses with a similar scale and expertise in grounds maintenance to succeed in such contracts. This award also highlights the potential for businesses wishing to expand or establish themselves within the public sector services arena in the UK.
