Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence bought landscaping and agricultural services for DNO Fleet, under the requirement titled “Fleet Site Landscaping”. The work is associated with Fleet, Hampshire, and concerns landscape gardening and related agricultural activity at a Ministry of Defence site. The requirement was procured as a service rather than for goods or construction works. The buyer is the Ministry of Defence, a central government authority. The scope indicates practical site-based work involving the upkeep, management or improvement of landscaped and agricultural areas. Businesses operating in commercial landscaping, grounds maintenance, horticultural services or agricultural site work would be the closest fit, particularly those able to deliver directly for a defence estate location and meet the buyer’s operational requirements.

This procurement has been awarded and is complete. The Ministry of Defence used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. One lot was completed and awarded to RW & JR Burroughs. The contract was signed on 27 July 2026, with a contract period from 27 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £100,000 excluding VAT and £120,000 including VAT. The award covers landscape gardening services for the single lot. The published outcome records the selected supplier and an active contract. The procurement’s route means the requirement was placed directly rather than evaluated through a competitive tender, so the available information does not establish a scored price-and-quality assessment or comparative evaluation between bidders.

This award demonstrates a Ministry of Defence requirement for a substantial programme of landscaping and agricultural work at a Fleet site, delivered by an SME supplier. Competitors seeking similar Ministry of Defence work would need credible practical capability in landscape gardening, grounds maintenance and agricultural operations, with enough labour, equipment and management capacity to service a defence location reliably. Experience working on controlled, operational or public-sector sites would strengthen a future proposition, alongside robust health and safety, environmental and site-management arrangements. Suppliers should be able to define a clear service covering routine maintenance and wider land or landscape tasks, respond to the buyer’s operational standards, and provide evidence of dependable delivery for a single-site requirement of this scale.
