Summary of the contracting process

East Kilbride Housing Association Ltd is seeking an open-space maintenance contractor for its cyclical maintenance programme. The service covers grass cutting, repairs and maintenance to grassed areas, planting, shrub-bed maintenance, pruning, weed control, litter picking, path brushing, and hedge and tree maintenance. It also includes ad hoc repairs to hard and soft landscaping, instructed by the Association. The work is generally across the Association’s open-space areas in East Kilbride, with the possibility of a wider geographical area in future. Area plans, a maintenance schedule and the detailed scope are included in the tender documents. This is a services contract covering open-space maintenance, landscaping and landscape gardening, including repair and maintenance services.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure. It is a single-lot competition, with electronic submission required and variants not allowed. Bids were due by 12:00 on 15 October 2026; bids were to remain valid for 90 days. The planned contract period is 36 months, with two optional single-year extensions, allowing a maximum period of 60 months. The estimated total value is £300,000. Evaluation is based on 60% cost of service and 40% quality. The award period and bid opening were scheduled from 12:00 on 15 October 2026. The tender requires English-language submissions and electronic ordering and payment arrangements are provided for.

This opportunity suits established grounds-maintenance, landscaping and horticultural contractors able to manage a broad scheduled service across housing-association open spaces, while responding to additional hard and soft landscaping repairs. Relevant capability includes grass and planting maintenance, shrub and hedge work, pruning, tree maintenance, weed control, litter picking, path brushing and repair of landscaped areas. Suppliers should be able to provide the staff names and professional qualifications required for the bid and demonstrate suitability and technical capability under the attached ITT and supplier selection documents. The contract also includes performance conditions and key performance indicators, electronic ordering and community-benefit commitments, including a contribution under the MTC contract form. Businesses with sufficient operational coverage and resources for recurring maintenance and reactive instructions are likely to be best placed.
