Summary of the contracting process

Hafod Housing Association sought grounds maintenance services for housing schemes and estates across South Wales, including South East Wales. The work covered routine grass cutting, leaf collection, litter picking and maintenance of hard-landscaped areas. This is an estate and grounds-care requirement for a housing provider, suited to contractors able to maintain multiple residential sites rather than a single commercial or public open space. The main work category was grounds maintenance services. Delivery was described as taking place across various estates in South Wales, with the wider procurement referring specifically to housing schemes in South East Wales. The requirement was arranged as one service package.

The procurement used a selective restricted procedure under the GPA. It was recorded as cancelled, and the associated award was marked unsuccessful and discontinued. The cancellation was recorded on 8 September 2026. The procurement had one lot, assessed on price. No contract award, awarded supplier, awarded value or contract period was established. The requirement therefore did not result in a completed contract under this process. Its scope and evaluation basis show that the buyer was seeking a single grounds-maintenance service covering residential housing schemes, with price as the stated basis for selecting a supplier. The process was managed by Hafod Housing Association.

Although this process was discontinued, it demonstrates demand from Hafod Housing Association for recurring, multi-site grounds maintenance across its housing estates in South Wales. Relevant competitors would need the operational capacity to schedule regular grass cutting, leaf collection, litter picking and hard-landscape maintenance across dispersed residential locations. A credible supplier would be able to manage mobile grounds teams, equipment, route planning, site standards and responsive service delivery for housing schemes, while pricing the whole requirement competitively because price was the stated evaluation basis. Experience maintaining residential estates or comparable portfolios would help demonstrate an understanding of tenant-facing environments and consistent service across multiple sites.
