Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by the East Riding of Yorkshire Council involved a Term Service Contract for the Ground Maintenance of Flood Risk Assets. Situated in Beverley, the Council has awarded this contract to maintain flood defences and green areas across the region, under the 'works' industry category. The procurement was conducted via an open competition method, below threshold, focusing on ensuring the functional presentation of the flood risk assets. Commencing on 7th May 2026, the contract spans a two-year period with potential extensions until 2030, providing comprehensive maintenance services such as tree pruning, hedge trimming, and watercourse clearing across East Riding of Yorkshire.

The contract, valued at £1,124,000, allows for multi-disciplinary collaboration, including ecology surveys and debris removal.
