Summary of the contracting process

Biddulph Town Council is seeking tenders for the provision of grounds maintenance services in Biddulph, specifically encompassing the town's burial grounds and a land parcel on Springfield Road. This procurement falls under the services category, with a focus on repair and maintenance services (CPV code: 50000000). The competitive tender is open to submissions until 30th January 2026, with the contract expected to commence on 1st March 2026 and conclude on 28th February 2029. With a budget of £90,000 grossed, the process is designated as a below-threshold open competition, ensuring a broad participation potential. The successful bidder will be responsible for activities ranging from grass cutting to the management of wooded areas and general site maintenance across the specified locations.

This tender offers significant opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), particularly those experienced in grounds maintenance and landscape management. With options for minor works outside the primary contract, businesses have the chance to expand services and showcase their operational flexibility. Given the need for detailed grounds maintenance skills, companies specialising in environmental management or landscaping will find this contract particularly aligned with their capabilities. Competing in this tender not only allows for potential revenue growth but also facilitates the building of a strong portfolio in servicing public sector contracts, which can be instrumental for future opportunities within and beyond the local government sector.
