Summary of the contracting process

Canvey Island Town Council procured a five-year landscaping, grounds maintenance and litter-clearance service for Labworth Memorial Gardens and the Band Stand site along Eastern Esplanade, Canvey Island. The work covers horticultural grounds care, maintenance of the public garden and bandstand surroundings, and removal of litter and associated environmental cleaning. It is a public-sector services contract managed by the town council for delivery at this named Canvey Island site. The requirement combines routine outdoor estate maintenance with keeping a public amenity clean, presentable and usable. Suppliers specialising in grounds maintenance, landscaping, horticultural services, litter clearance or environmental cleaning would find the scope relevant, particularly those able to provide an integrated service for a public open space.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through an open procedure. One lot was evaluated on price at 50%, quality at 25%, timeframe at 10%, compliance at 10% and environmental issues at 5%; two bids were received, both from SMEs. The contract was awarded to ASPECT MAINTENANCE LTD on 7 September 2026 for £69,416 excluding VAT (£83,299.20 including VAT). The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2031, with a possible one-year extension to 30 September 2032. The original estimated lot value was £46,000 excluding VAT (£55,200 including VAT). A contract signature milestone was scheduled for 21 September 2026. English-language electronic submissions were allowed, and the tender deadline was 18 July 2026 at 17:00.

This award demonstrates a sustained requirement from Canvey Island Town Council for an integrated public-space maintenance service rather than a single occasional landscaping job. A credible future competitor would need the operational capacity to maintain gardens and landscaped areas over several years, clear litter reliably, and coordinate horticultural and environmental-cleaning activities at the Labworth Memorial Gardens and Band Stand site. The evaluation shows that price matters, but half of the score was allocated to quality and a further quarter to timeframe, compliance and environmental issues. Businesses should therefore be able to evidence dependable service planning, delivery capacity, environmental working practices and compliance with the specification, alongside competitive pricing. The opportunity was suitable for SMEs, indicating that a capable specialist or small local maintenance business could be well placed.
