Summary of the contracting process

Hafod Housing Association, a sub-central government public authority based in Cardiff, United Kingdom, is executing a contract for grounds maintenance services. The contract was awarded to Countrywide Grounds Maintenance Ltd for the procurement of planting and maintenance services of green areas across multiple regional lots including areas such as Cardiff, Torfaen, Newport, and the Vale of Glamorgan. The procurement was carried out using an open procedure, with contracts extending over an initial two-year period commencing on 25th May 2026, with potential to extend up to 2032. The collective gross value of the contracts is over £2 million, divided across four lots, each focusing on distinct regional areas. This procurement has moved through various stages from tender to award status, with critical dates spanning pre-award to contract signing in mid-2026.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the grounds maintenance industry, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises, as evidenced by the participation and successful awarding to an SME. Businesses involved in landscaping or similar services stand to gain, given the extended contractual duration and regional segmentation, allowing for potential growth in specific management locations. The inclusion of renewal options enhances long-term engagement possibilities, and since multiple lots have been awarded, there are opportunities for organisations capable of handling diverse regional demands. This project exemplifies scalability and adaptability, ideal for businesses looking to expand service coverage across the Welsh regions specified.
