Summary of the contracting process

This public procurement process involves a contract modification for grounds maintenance services, entailing grass cutting, litter removal, weed control, and shrub maintenance across multiple regions in the United Kingdom (UKC, UKD, UKE, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKI, UKJ, and UKK). The buying organisation, LOCAL SPACE, located in London, manages this service under an existing framework agreement with Fusion21. The procurement is in the Award stage as of 7th May 2026, with modifications due to the need for service continuity during a transitional procurement phase. The process followed a limited procurement method, allowing a direct award without prior competition call, valued at £76,685, originally signed on 3rd July 2025 for a 180-day contract period.

This procurement presents valuable opportunities for businesses specialising in horticultural and grounds management services, particularly those with expertise in maintaining large green spaces. Suitable contenders include SMEs like the awarded supplier, John O'Connor Grounds Maintenance Ltd. Businesses capable of providing comprehensive grounds maintenance across multiple regions stand to benefit from stable, ongoing work and the potential to expand their service offerings under similar frameworks. Engaging in this tender process can foster growth by establishing long-term relationships with public sector entities such as LOCAL SPACE, and through proven expertise, position them to capture future contracts of a similar nature.
