Summary of the contracting process

Newlon Housing Trust procured grounds and gardens maintenance services, including landscaping work for gardens. The requirement concerns maintaining the Trust’s grounds and gardens. The award relates to one lot, and the listed delivery location is the United Kingdom. Newlon Housing Trust is the buying organisation. The selected supplier is Glendale Countryside Limited, a grounds and landscaping business. The contract covers service delivery across the buyer’s requirement rather than a separately described set of sites or individual maintenance tasks.

The procurement is complete and an award has been made to Glendale Countryside Limited. The award is recorded as pending, with an award date of 17 September 2026; the contract period is stated as 18 October 2026 to 8 October 2029, with extensions available in one-year increments up to 8 October 2031. The awarded value is £1,085,333.33 excluding VAT (£1,232,000 including VAT). The tender used an open procedure. One lot was assessed on quality, weighted at 60%, and price, weighted at 40%; the lot was identified as suitable for SMEs. Eighteen bids reached the final stage. The standstill period was due to end on 16 October 2026.

This award shows that Newlon Housing Trust buys grounds and garden maintenance, including landscaping, through an open competition and evaluates quality more heavily than price. A credible competitor for comparable work would need to demonstrate dependable grounds-maintenance delivery and the capacity to maintain the Trust’s grounds and gardens over a multi-year contract. The award went to Glendale Countryside Limited, a supplier operating in this sector, and all 18 final-stage bids came from SMEs. That indicates smaller businesses were able to compete at this scale, although the outcome also points to a competitive field. Suppliers should be prepared to make a strong, evidenced quality case alongside competitive pricing; the published evaluation gave quality a 60% weighting and price 40%.
