Summary of the contracting process

Impact Multi Academy Trust procured landscaping and grounds maintenance services across its estate of eight schools in the London region, serving around 8,000 students. The work covers the Trust’s school grounds and is intended to support safe, compliant and well-managed educational estates. The buyer is Impact Multi Academy Trust, with procurement and tender management carried out by Cohesion Consulting Ltd. The requirement is a multi-site education-sector landscaping service rather than a single-site grounds contract. Relevant work categories include landscaping work (CPV 45112700) and grounds maintenance services (CPV 77314000). Suppliers operating across school, education, estates or comparable multi-location environments would find the requirement most closely aligned with their services.

The procurement is complete: J C Landscapes Ltd was awarded the contract on 26 June 2026, and the contract was signed on 31 July 2026. It covers one lot and uses a two-stage competitive flexible procedure under the Procurement Act 2023, with a selective procurement method. The award and contract value is £641,905 excluding VAT, or £770,286 including VAT. The contract runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2029, with an option for two one-year extensions, potentially ending 30 July 2031, subject to satisfactory performance and agreement on budgets and service levels. Evaluation included price, with detailed criteria set out in the tender documents. One bid was received and progressed to the final stage.

This award demonstrates demand from a multi-academy trust for a contractor able to deliver consistent landscaping and grounds maintenance across several school sites. A credible future supplier would need relevant qualifications, proven experience and a strong record in landscaping for educational or comparable settings. The requirement also points to the importance of a clear operating model for coordinating services across multiple locations, maintaining service quality and meeting school-estate compliance expectations. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate capacity for multi-site delivery, reliable mobilisation and effective performance management, including measurable service-quality standards and regular reviews. Experience working in occupied education environments, with appropriate safeguarding and site-access processes, would strengthen a competing proposition.
