Summary of the contracting process

Grŵp Cynefin procured grounds maintenance services for its housing and landholdings across North Wales and Powys. The requirement covers horticultural and routine grounds maintenance work, divided geographically into two areas. Lot 1 covers Gwynedd, the Isle of Anglesey and Powys. Lot 2 covers Conwy, Denbighshire, Flintshire and Wrexham. Grŵp Cynefin is the buying organisation and the work is classified as grounds maintenance services (CPV 77314000). Both lots are suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The requirement is relevant to contractors providing planned and routine grounds care across multiple local authority areas, particularly businesses able to organise services across dispersed housing or estate locations in North Wales. The same supplier was selected for both geographic lots, indicating a requirement that can be delivered consistently across the full service area.

The procurement was run through an open procedure and has been awarded. Sherratt Group Ltd won Lot 1, with an awarded value of £359,787.85 gross (£299,823.20 excluding VAT), and Lot 2, with an awarded value of £289,764.96 gross (£241,470.80 excluding VAT). Both awards were made on 12 March 2026. The contracts were signed on 24 April 2026 and run from 27 April 2026 to 26 April 2029, with two 12-month extensions available for each lot, giving a maximum end date of 26 April 2031. Evaluation for each lot was based on 60% price and 40% quality. Four bids were received for Lot 1 and three for Lot 2; all final-stage bidders were SMEs. Economic and technical selection criteria applied.

This award demonstrates established demand from Grŵp Cynefin for grounds maintenance delivered across a substantial multi-county housing and estates portfolio. A credible future competitor would need practical horticultural and grounds maintenance capability, with the operational capacity to cover either the western area of Gwynedd, the Isle of Anglesey and Powys, or the eastern area of Conwy, Denbighshire, Flintshire and Wrexham. The procurement was accessible to SMEs and attracted several SME bidders, so a smaller specialist contractor could be competitive if it can evidence reliable local delivery, sufficient workforce and equipment, and effective scheduling across multiple sites. Strong quality performance mattered alongside price, meaning businesses should be able to explain how they will maintain standards consistently while managing geographically dispersed work for Grŵp Cynefin.
