UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Willingham Parish Council is procuring grounds maintenance services for land it owns in Willingham, Cambridgeshire. The work covers the parish’s open spaces and includes grass cutting, strimming and hedge cutting, together with any related grounds maintenance set out in the tender documents. The requirement falls within horticultural and grounds maintenance services (CPV 77000000). The Council is the buying organisation and expects the contractor to maintain all areas identified in the tender documentation, including the Landing Ground added through an updated tender document. This is a practical outdoor services contract for a grounds maintenance business able to deliver scheduled vegetation management across council-owned sites in and around Willingham.

The procurement has reached tender: Willingham Parish Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Bids were due by 18 September 2026 at 5:00pm. Submissions could be made electronically or by post to the Parish Council Office, Ploughman Hall, West Fen Road, Willingham, Cambridgeshire CB24 5LP. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2030. Its gross value is £60,000, including taxes, for one lot. The published evaluation basis is quality, with priority given to the contractor’s ability to cover all areas described in the tender documentation. The tender was updated to include the Landing Ground.

This opportunity suits a small or medium-sized grounds maintenance contractor with the operational capacity to cover every area listed by the Council. Relevant capability includes routine grass cutting, strimming and hedge cutting, plus the equipment, staff and scheduling needed to maintain parish open spaces consistently. Contractors should be able to demonstrate a clear method for covering all locations in the tender documentation, including the Landing Ground added in the updated tender document. The quality assessment places particular importance on geographical and operational coverage, so businesses with reliable local delivery arrangements and sufficient capacity for the full site list are well placed. It is suitable for SMEs and can accommodate either electronic or postal bid submission.
