Summary of the contracting process

Adra (Tai) Cyf is procuring grounds maintenance services for its housing and land holdings. The work covers grounds maintenance across Gwynedd, Anglesey, Flintshire and Wrexham, including the sites and activities detailed in the tender documents and associated plans. The requirement is for one contractor under a single service lot, with additional ad-hoc works included in the tender information. The buyer is Adra (Tai) Cyf, a Welsh housing organisation based in Bangor. This is a services contract for businesses providing practical grounds maintenance, site-based landscaping and associated outdoor estate services. The tender documentation includes supporting policies, social value requirements, plans covering the relevant locations and a provisional TUPE list for affected staff.

The procurement has reached tender: Adra invited offers through an open procedure. Enquiries were due by 28 September 2026 at 12:00, and tender submissions were due electronically through the buyer’s postbox by 12 October 2026 at 12:00. The contract is scheduled to run from 15 March 2027 to 14 March 2030, with the right to extend for two further 12-month periods, giving a maximum end date of 14 March 2032. The estimated value is £2,500,000 excluding VAT, or £3,000,000 including VAT. Evaluation is based on 60% price and 40% quality. The buyer expected to finalise the award by 7 December 2026. Submissions may be made in English or Welsh.

This opportunity suits grounds maintenance contractors with the operational capacity to service a substantial, geographically spread housing and estate portfolio across North Wales. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate the economic and technical standing required by the tender documents, manage planned and additional ad-hoc works, and work from a large set of site plans. The tender information includes supporting policies and social value requirements, so bidders should be prepared to meet wider community and responsible-delivery obligations. A provisional TUPE list indicates that bidders may need to assess the transfer of affected staff and plan continuity of service. Small and medium-sized enterprises are identified as suitable participants, making the requirement relevant to capable regional firms as well as larger contractors.
