Summary of the contracting process

Transport for Greater Manchester is procuring landscaping and grounds-maintenance works across its estate in Greater Manchester. The estate covers 60 sites across the area’s 10 councils, including 22 bus stations, one railway station, 14 railway car parks, two logistics facilities and warehouses, the Leigh Guided Busway and multiple roundabouts. The scope includes grass cutting, shrub and hedge maintenance, weed control, hard-surface cleansing, litter removal, arboricultural work, seasonal planting and general landscape upkeep. The appointed supplier must provide all labour, materials, equipment and supervision, and deliver the services in line with relevant legislation, industry best practice and agreed performance standards. The procurement is for a single supplier, although delivery through a suitable, managed subcontractor is permitted. The work is categorised as landscaping works.

The open procedure has completed and Lancashire Landscapes (UK) Limited was selected for the single lot. The award was made on 20 July 2026, with a standstill period ending on 29 July 2026. The awarded value is £447,005 excluding VAT (£536,406 including VAT). The awarded contract is due to run from 24 August 2026 to 23 August 2029, with two separate 12-month extension options available, giving a possible end date of 23 August 2031. The original estimated value was £815,000 excluding VAT (£978,000 including VAT). Eight bids were received and six reached the final stage, including five from SMEs. Evaluation gave 60% to commercial criteria and 40% to technical quality, including social value. The contract award followed a tender deadline of 25 May 2026 and an intended award decision by 8 June 2026.

This outcome shows a substantial, multi-site requirement for an established landscaping contractor able to maintain transport infrastructure and varied public-facing facilities across Greater Manchester. A credible competitor would need operational capacity to cover numerous locations, coordinate planned and responsive grounds maintenance, and supply its own workforce, materials, equipment and supervision. Relevant capability should span routine horticultural maintenance, vegetation and weed control, litter and hard-surface cleansing, arboriculture, seasonal planting and general estate upkeep. Firms relying on subcontractors would need to identify suitable partners and demonstrate that they can manage and remain responsible for their delivery. The evaluation also shows that competitive pricing is important, while technical quality and social value form a significant part of the decision. The requirement is suitable for SMEs and rewards suppliers able to evidence compliant, consistent service across a dispersed public estate.
