Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "Gardening Tender" was initiated by Alpha RSL Limited, a public authority operating within the sub-central government category in the United Kingdom. The tender, concerning landscape gardening services, includes activities such as grass cutting, hedge trimming, shrub pruning, weed treatment, and debris removal at various residential schemes across several geographical locations in the UK including Upton, Wallasey, and Newcastle-Under-Lyme. The process has reached the 'Award' stage with a contract commencing on 5th August 2025, lasting 12 months with an option for another 12 months extension. This tender was procured using the limited method, noted for limited competition as it lies below the threshold.

This procurement presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in landscape gardening services within the UK. Those equipped with capabilities in providing comprehensive residential gardening maintenance could leverage this contract to expand their service footprint and revenue stream, given the weekly nature of the required services across varied locations. SMEs like Countrywide Grounds Maintenance Limited, which successfully secured the contract, exemplify how enterprises of similar scale can competitively position themselves in public service tenders, fostering potential partnership opportunities for multiple schemes under one company, provided performance and resident satisfaction are achieved.
