Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Abertay Housing Association is seeking contractors to maintain its landscaped open spaces and carry out related reactive repairs to hard and soft landscaping. The work covers routine grounds maintenance and repairs across areas owned by the Association in Dundee and surrounding areas. This is grounds maintenance services (CPV 77314000), divided into three lots. The same core service applies across all lots; TUPE transfer applies to Lots 1 and 2, but not Lot 3. The requirement is for a main contractor for each contract. Suppliers may bid for up to two lots and may be awarded up to two, so businesses should consider which parts of the Dundee-area work best match their resources and experience.

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. The tender deadline was 4 November 2026 at 12:00 UTC; the scheduled bid opening was at the same time. The contract period for each lot runs from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2030, with a possible extension of one year plus a further year, conditional on contractor performance. Quality and price each account for 50% of the evaluation. Bidders must have annual turnover of at least £100,000 in each of the last three financial years, and execution of the service is reserved to a particular profession. Staff names and qualifications must be provided. Variants are not allowed. The notice also requires a community benefits question in the quality submission and includes a subcontracting clause.

This opportunity is suited to established landscape maintenance contractors able to deliver recurring open-space upkeep and respond to repair requirements across multiple sites in and around Dundee. Suppliers need the professional status required to execute the service, and sufficient financial capacity to meet the stated turnover threshold. Bidders must also be ready to identify the staff assigned to the work and provide their qualifications. Experience in maintaining both hard and soft landscaped areas, organising routine visits and responding to reactive work would be relevant to delivering the stated scope. Firms considering Lots 1 or 2 should account for the applicable TUPE transfer when planning staffing and mobilisation; that transfer does not apply to Lot 3. The quality assessment includes a community benefits question, and the procurement includes provision for subcontracting.
