Summary of the contracting process

Wanborough Parish Council is procuring grounds maintenance services for Wanborough Parish, including grass cutting, hedge maintenance, weed control and upkeep of public open spaces and other council-owned land. The work covers council land and public spaces within Wanborough, in Swindon. This is a public-sector landscaping and estate-maintenance requirement, suited to contractors providing routine horticultural and grounds-care services. The council-owned sites will be maintained in accordance with the contract specification. The buyer is Wanborough Parish Council, a local public authority. The requirement is classified as grounds maintenance services (CPV 77314000) and is categorised as a service. The opportunity is a single requirement rather than a programme divided into multiple separately described service areas.

The procurement has reached tender: Wanborough Parish Council invited offers through an open procedure. Questions could be submitted until 21 September 2026 at 17:00. Tenders had to arrive by 1 October 2026 at 00:00 and had to be sent by post in English. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 March 2027 to 31 March 2029. Its estimated value is £20,000 excluding VAT and £25,000 including VAT. The council planned to complete its award decision by 14 December 2026 at 23:59:59 UTC. Evaluation is based 60% on price and 40% on quality. The contract is above the relevant threshold, and the requirement is presented as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

This opportunity suits a grounds maintenance contractor with demonstrable experience of maintaining grassed areas, hedges, weeds, public open spaces and other land owned by a parish council. Bidders must be able to provide satisfactory references showing relevant grounds maintenance experience. The successful contractor must hold appropriate insurance before the contract starts and meet all applicable health and safety requirements. Capability to organise reliable routine maintenance across council-owned sites in Wanborough will be important, alongside the capacity to deliver the specified services throughout the contract period. The 60% price and 40% quality evaluation means suppliers will need to present a competitive commercial offer while clearly explaining the quality of their proposed service and delivery approach.
