UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Prospere Learning Trust is seeking grounds maintenance services for its schools. The work is divided into five lots covering school groups in Wythenshawe and other sites, plus a separate lot for astroturf maintenance. The Wythenshawe lot names PIP, PIP 6th Form, MEA and PNR; the other lots identify sites by the abbreviations CHS, SOU, CEN, GRA, PEA, CAM, PRO and OHO. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. This is a service contract for maintaining school grounds, with a distinct specialist requirement for astroturf in one lot.

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure. The deadline for questions was 13 October 2026 at 12:00, and the bid deadline was 20 October 2026 at 12:00. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 March 2027 to 28 February 2030, with two possible 12-month extensions. The total estimated value is £350,000 excluding VAT (£420,000 including VAT). The Wythenshawe lot is valued at £150,000 excluding VAT; each of the other four lots is valued at £50,000 excluding VAT. For every lot, evaluation gives quality a 60% weighting and price 40%.

The opportunity suits grounds-maintenance contractors able to service school sites, including businesses with specialist capability in maintaining astroturf if bidding for that lot. Suppliers can compete for lots suited to their geographic coverage and operational capacity rather than necessarily taking on all the schools. The published suitability information marks each lot as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community and social enterprises. Quality carries more weight than price in every lot, so bidders should be prepared to demonstrate the standard and reliability of their proposed maintenance service, alongside a competitive price. No specific professional accreditation, staffing qualification or prior experience requirement is stated in the procurement information.
