Summary of the contracting process

Chesterfield Borough Council procured grounds maintenance services for its commercial investment property portfolio. The work covers the maintenance of green areas and is classified as planting and maintenance services of green areas (CPV 77310000). The delivery location is recorded as the United Kingdom; the procurement does not identify a more specific place. This is a service requirement for suppliers experienced in maintaining grounds and planted areas for a property portfolio, rather than a purchase of goods or construction works. The council is the buyer, and the selected supplier is Clear Grow Ltd. The opportunity was divided into one lot, covering the full grounds maintenance requirement.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Clear Grow Ltd on 8 October 2026. The award value is £69,600.32 excluding VAT (£83,520.38 including VAT). The awarded contract period is 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2028, with two possible 12-month extensions, giving a stated maximum end date of 31 October 2030. This was a below-threshold, open competition. Bids were assessed on price, weighted at 70%, and technical capability and quality, weighted at 30%. The tender had a single lot. Its original estimated value was £84,000 excluding VAT (£100,800 including VAT). The submission deadline was 17 August 2026, following an extension; clarification enquiries closed on 14 July 2026. Eighteen bids were recorded, including 15 from SMEs.

For grounds maintenance firms, this award demonstrates recurring demand from Chesterfield Borough Council to maintain green areas across its commercial investment property portfolio. A credible competitor would need the operational capacity to service a property portfolio over a multi-year arrangement, and the technical capability and quality evidence to satisfy the council’s assessment. Price carried the larger share of the evaluation, so cost control and a competitive, clearly supported price would matter alongside reliable service delivery. The successful supplier was an SME, and the procurement was marked as suitable for SMEs, indicating that a smaller specialist business could compete. The council received 18 bids, including 15 from SMEs, showing a competitive field. Suppliers able to combine grounds maintenance expertise, consistent delivery and strong value would be well placed when this buyer next procures the requirement.
