Summary of the contracting process

Homes England, a public authority under sub-central government located in Newcastle Upon Tyne, has engaged in a public procurement process titled "Homes England - Northstowe - Long Grass Cut: Phase 2" due to fire risks on fields around Northstowe. The procurement is classified within the works category and has reached the award stage. The procurement process was executed using a direct method without competition, under legal basis UKPGA 2023/54. This particular phase commenced on 15th September 2025 and ended on 22nd September 2025, with the contract active as of 12th September 2025. The procurement was aimed at obtaining a landscape provider with specialist equipment for cutting and collecting grass to mitigate fire risks.

This opportunity facilitates business growth for companies with expertise in landscape management, particularly those equipped to handle fire risk reduction through efficient grass cutting and collection on large scales. Though the procurement was below the threshold and executed without competition, large-scale companies like LAR Ltd, which was erroneously attributed initially, could benefit from such tenders due to the demand for specialised equipment and expertise. Businesses specialising in landscape works and familiar with public authority contracts would be well-suited for similar future opportunities to enhance their portfolio and expand their service offerings in the UK regions like Northstowe.
