Summary of the contracting process

Sandymoor Parish Council is procuring public outdoor space maintenance services. The work covers grass cutting, hedge maintenance and checks on ponds, with potential additional work including tree maintenance, erecting signs and clearing ponds. Delivery is required across several areas of England, including the North West, North East, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, the South East and the South West. The buying organisation is Sandymoor Parish Council, based in Northwich. This is a grounds maintenance and horticultural services requirement, with public utilities and agricultural, forestry, horticultural, aquacultural and apicultural services classifications also associated with the work. The opportunity is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses.

The procurement has reached tender: the council invited offers through an accelerated open procedure, citing urgency. Questions had to be submitted by 10 August 2026 at 23:59, and offers by 12 August 2026 at 17:00. The council planned to complete its award decision by 20 August 2026 at 23:59. The contract is valued at £40,500 gross and covers one lot. The initial contract period is 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2028, with a possible extension to 31 August 2029 if renewed. The council will assess cost, the quality and value of the proposed work, and readiness to be flexible and responsive. Electronic submission is allowed in English, and invoices are submitted quarterly.

This opportunity suits grounds maintenance, horticultural and environmental services businesses able to deliver regular work across public open spaces. Relevant capability includes grass cutting, hedge maintenance and pond checking, with the potential to provide tree maintenance, sign erection and pond clearance as additional services. Suppliers should be prepared to propose work that offers good quality and value while operating within a restricted budget. The evaluation also favours businesses that can respond flexibly to changing requirements. The council provides a document setting out contractor obligations, so bidders should be able to review and meet those requirements. Small and medium-sized enterprises are identified as suitable participants, making this relevant to local or regional maintenance contractors with practical outdoor-work capacity.
