UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Adra (Tai) Cyf intends to procure grounds maintenance services, including grass cutting, weed control and hedge trimming. The work is classified as grounds maintenance services (CPV 77314000) and is being arranged by Adra, based in Bangor. Delivery will cover the areas identified by Adra for this contract. The procurement is a service contract and is planned as one lot. The buyer is seeking providers able to deliver a range of routine grounds maintenance activities rather than a single specialist task. A meet-the-buyer event is planned at Ty Gwyrddfai in Penygroes, giving interested providers an opportunity to understand the proposed requirement and discuss their ability to deliver the services. The opportunity is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

This procurement is at the planning stage: Adra has stated its intention to take the grounds maintenance requirement to tender at the beginning of September 2026, with the next notice expected around 1 September 2026. A meet-the-buyer engagement event is scheduled for 24 August 2026 at 10:00 at Ty Gwyrddfai, Penygroes. The estimated value is £2,160,000 excluding VAT, or £2,700,000 including VAT. The planned contract period is 15 March 2027 to 14 March 2030, with a possible extension to 14 March 2032 and renewal provisions. The procurement is above the relevant threshold and comprises one lot. The lot is currently planned and is stated to be suitable for SMEs. No invitation to tender has been issued at this stage.

This will suit grounds maintenance contractors with the operational capacity to provide recurring grass cutting, weed control and hedge trimming across multiple delivery areas. Providers with established horticultural or estate-maintenance teams, suitable equipment, vehicles and workforce planning arrangements should be well placed to prepare. The requirement may also suit smaller businesses that already deliver grounds maintenance services and can demonstrate reliable coverage, scheduling and quality control, either independently or through a suitable delivery partnership. Businesses should use the planned engagement to understand the geographic coverage, service standards, workload patterns and any operational requirements that will shape the later tender. The buyer has expressly identified the requirement as suitable for SMEs, so smaller providers should consider how their existing capability and capacity could meet the full service scope.
