Summary of the contracting process

Wanborough Parish Council is procuring grounds maintenance services for Hoopers Recreation Ground and associated areas in Wanborough. The work covers grass cutting, sports pitch maintenance, hedge trimming, weed control, litter collection, and maintenance of landscaped and grassed areas, together with other related grounds maintenance tasks. The contractor must maintain the site to a high standard and meet relevant health and safety and environmental requirements. This is a sports fields maintenance service opportunity for a council-owned recreation site, suited to contractors providing routine grounds care and specialist sports turf maintenance in and around Wanborough.

The procurement has reached tender: Wanborough Parish Council invited offers through an open procedure. Questions had to be submitted by 5pm on 21 September 2026, and tenders had to arrive by noon on 1 October 2026. Offers had to be submitted by post in English; electronic submission was not allowed. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2029. The estimated value is £11,000 excluding VAT, or £12,000 including VAT. There is one lot and the award decision was due by 14 December 2026. Evaluation is based on price, weighted at 60%, and quality, weighted at 40%.

The opportunity suits small and medium-sized grounds maintenance businesses with relevant experience maintaining public grounds and sports fields. Bidders should be able to carry out regular grass and pitch maintenance, hedge and weed control, litter collection, and upkeep of landscaped areas to the required standard. The council expects suppliers to demonstrate sufficient capacity to deliver the contract, and may request references showing comparable experience. The successful contractor must hold appropriate insurance and comply with all relevant legislation before work begins, alongside the stated health, safety and environmental requirements. It is therefore most suitable for an established local or regional contractor with practical sports-turf capability, dependable operational resources and the compliance arrangements needed for public-sector work.
