UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Broadacres Housing Association is seeking grounds maintenance services for its properties in the UK. The work covers grass cutting, hedge and shrub care, flower-border maintenance, weed control, litter picking, leaf clearance, hard-surface upkeep, unwanted vegetation removal, lawn fertilising and inspections of saplings. The contractor must work to the specification and current legislation. Operatives will need to understand their responsibilities for protected species, nesting birds, habitats, pollution prevention, waste handling and safe working. Location maps are to be provided to bidders during the tender process. The service is classified as grounds maintenance (CPV 77314000).

Broadacres invited offers through an open procedure. The contract is divided into one lot and is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses. The stated value is £1.5 million excluding VAT (£1.8 million including VAT). The initial contract period runs from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2030, with two possible 12-month extensions, potentially extending the service to 31 March 2032. The deadline for questions was 19 October 2026 at 12 noon; bids were due by 26 October 2026 at 12 noon. The stated award decision deadline was 15 January 2027. Evaluation gives price 60% and quality, including social value, 40%. Economic selection criteria include a figure of £450,000; technical criteria are set out in the conditions of participation.

The opportunity suits grounds maintenance contractors able to deliver a broad, recurring outdoor maintenance service across the buyer’s locations, covering both routine vegetation care and seasonal tasks such as leaf clearance. Suppliers need the workforce and equipment to undertake grass, hedge, shrub, flower-border and hard-surface maintenance, weed control, litter picking, fertilising and sapling inspections. Staff must understand legal duties concerning protected species, nesting birds and habitats, alongside pollution prevention, waste handling and safe working practices. The technical conditions of participation apply, and the economic selection criteria include a £450,000 figure. The buyer’s evaluation rewards quality and social value as well as price, so bidders should be equipped to explain how their service delivery addresses both.
