Summary of the contracting process

West Mercia Police and Crime Commissioner is managing this procurement for Kidderminster Town Council, which will hold the resulting contract. The requirement is a single contractor to maintain parks, green spaces and public toilets across Kidderminster. The service covers 12 parks and green spaces, including a churchyard, together with Market Street public toilets. Work includes grounds and horticultural maintenance, grassing, weed control, tree pruning and maintenance, landscaping, playground equipment maintenance, and cleaning and sanitation of public toilets. Related activities include the use of grounds-maintenance equipment, ornamental planting and pesticides. This is a services contract for work delivered in Kidderminster and is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The buyer invited offers through a selective competitive flexible procedure using two stages under the Procurement Act 2023. Stage 1 assesses conditions of participation on a pass-or-fail basis; Stage 2 evaluates tenders on price and quality. Expressions of interest were due by 5 October 2026 at 12:00. The intended award period ends on 24 November 2026 at 23:59. The initial contract runs from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2030, with one optional 12-month extension to 31 March 2031. The published overall value is £1,392,000 gross. The lot value is also stated as AED 1,392,000 gross. Price and quality each carry 50% of the evaluation weighting. Electronic submissions in English are allowed, following the ITT instructions.

This opportunity suits a contractor able to provide an integrated grounds-maintenance, horticultural and public-toilet cleaning service rather than a single specialist activity. Relevant capability includes routine care of parks and green spaces, grass and weed management, tree work, hedge trimming, landscaping and maintenance of recreational or playground areas. Suppliers should also be able to clean and sanitise public toilets and coordinate the different workstreams across 12 sites, including a churchyard. Experience with grounds-maintenance equipment, safe use of pesticides and delivery of public-facing environmental or facilities services would be relevant to the requirement. The procurement is explicitly suitable for SMEs and offers the scale of a single contract covering the full service rather than separate lots.
