Summary of the contracting process

Adra (Tai) Cyf is procuring grounds maintenance services for its housing and related estates. The work covers routine grounds maintenance and additional ad hoc works, with the detailed requirements, plans and supporting policies set out in the tender documentation. It is a services contract delivered across Gwynedd, Conwy and Denbighshire, and Bridgend and Neath Port Talbot. The buyer is Adra (Tai) Cyf, based in Bangor. The procurement is for one overall service package rather than separate specialist lots. The requirement is likely to suit contractors providing planned and reactive grounds maintenance across multiple locations, including organisations able to manage work programmes, site plans and additional works within a housing-estate environment.

The procurement reached tender: Adra invited offers through an open procedure. It has one lot. The enquiry deadline was 28 September 2026 at 12:00, and the tender submission deadline was 12 October 2026 at 12:00. The contract period is 15 March 2027 to 14 March 2030, with the possibility of two further 12-month extensions, giving a maximum end date of 14 March 2032. The estimated value is £2.5 million excluding VAT, or £3 million including VAT. Tenders are evaluated on price at 60% and quality at 40%. The award decision period ends on 7 December 2026. A subsequent procurement is forecast for 1 September 2031.

This opportunity suits grounds maintenance contractors with the operational capacity to service estates across several Welsh localities and to coordinate planned maintenance with additional ad hoc works. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate the economic and technical capability required by the tender documents, manage multiple work areas and interpret extensive site plans. The requirement may suit small and medium-sized enterprises. Relevant strengths include workforce planning, grounds maintenance delivery, responsive scheduling, health and safety management, quality control and the ability to work consistently across a sizeable housing portfolio. The tender material also includes a provisional TUPE list and supporting social value policies, so bidders should assess employee-transfer implications and their ability to deliver the required social value commitments.
