Summary of the contracting process

Hook Parish Council is procuring services to manage and maintain Bassetts Mead as a Suitable Alternative Natural Greenspace (SANG). The work is intended to keep the site in good condition and support its use by the public. It includes maintaining and repairing countryside infrastructure such as fencing, boardwalks and other site facilities; managing woodland, hedges and planted areas; arranging volunteer working parties; managing contractors; and grazing and managing cattle. The successful provider will engage with the public and work closely with the council’s Environment and Community Officer, including attending quarterly meetings. The requirement is for delivery in Hampshire, with Bassetts Mead as the named site. This is an environmental land-management and countryside maintenance service for Hook Parish Council.

The procurement has reached tender: Hook Parish Council has invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. There is one lot, with a contract period from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2031. The estimated value is £160,000 excluding VAT, or £160,320 including VAT. Offers must be received by 12 noon on Tuesday 8 September 2026. Electronic submission is allowed, using the council’s specified tender route and supporting application requirements. Applications received by the deadline are due to be presented to the Environment and Community Committee on Wednesday 16 September 2026, when a shortlist will be agreed and shortlisted applicants invited to interview with councillors. Award will consider value for money, a proven record of providing a prompt and reliable service, and the clarity of the proposed site-management strategy.

This opportunity suits an ecologically focused organisation with practical experience managing and maintaining SANG or comparable countryside sites. Strong evidence of previous SANG management is required, so bidders should be able to demonstrate relevant environmental land-management experience and reliable delivery across a substantial site. Useful capabilities include constructing and repairing countryside infrastructure, managing fencing, boardwalks, woodland and other green areas, organising volunteer working parties, and procuring or supervising contractors. The provider must also be able to arrange grazing and manage cattle at Bassetts Mead, engage constructively with the public and work collaboratively with the council’s Environment and Community Officer. The lot is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to capable local ecological, conservation, countryside-management and rural land-service businesses.
