Summary of the contracting process

Coventry City Council is currently in the planning stage for a procurement process aimed at maintaining parks services in the Coventry area. The procurement process is categorised under services specifically related to landscaping, civil and drainage works, and park maintenance. As a sub-central government entity, the Council is seeking potential suppliers to engage in preliminary market engagement through online presentations on 12 and 13 March 2026, with a deadline for registration by the end of 13 March 2026 through the CSW-JETS portal. The process is conducted under the legal framework of UKPGA 2023/54, intending to establish a framework agreement, and includes a contract period from 2026 to 2030, with the possibility of renewal until 2034.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses in landscaping, civil works, fencing, and parks maintenance sectors. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) may find this contract particularly appealing given its potential for growth and stability, leveraging the need for consistent maintenance services over several years. Companies experienced in installing and repairing outdoor fixtures such as fences, bollards, and drainage systems will be well-positioned to compete effectively. The engagement process aims to gather insights from suppliers to inform the upcoming tender, potentially shaping the final scope and terms that will facilitate comprehensive park maintenance and improvement works within Coventry.
