The procurement process is in the 'Tender' phase, with submissions due by 12:00 PM GMT on 14th November 2025. The tender aims to secure services for grass cutting and strimming at 13 locations including play areas and open spaces throughout Market Drayton, spanning from April 2026 to October 2028. The contract is part of an open competition below threshold, and tender documents are required to be sent in a confidentially marked envelope to the specified address of the Town Clerk.

Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with demonstrated expertise in similar projects and compliance with health, safety, and environmental regulations would be particularly well-positioned to compete. The evaluation criteria will consider price as well as quality aspects, such as knowledge, experience, and compliance. This comprehensive approach allows businesses with high standards of service delivery and a proven track record in public space maintenance to leverage their skills and potentially enter or strengthen their presence in the public sector market.
