UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Broadacres Housing Association is seeking grounds maintenance services across its locations in the United Kingdom. The work covers grass cutting, hedge and shrub maintenance, care of flower borders, weed control, litter picking, leaf clearance and hard-surface maintenance. It also includes removing unwanted vegetation, applying lawn fertiliser and inspecting saplings. The contractor must carry out the services in line with current legislation and the specification. Location maps are to be provided to bidders through the tender process. This is a services contract for organisations able to deliver recurring, site-based grounds care and maintenance across the buyer’s estate, rather than a purchase of equipment alone.

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure. The enquiry deadline was 19 October 2026 at 12:00 and the bid deadline was 26 October 2026 at 12:00. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2030, with two possible 12-month extensions, potentially extending the term to 31 March 2032. Its estimated value is £1.5 million excluding VAT (£1.8 million including VAT). There is one lot, and small and medium-sized businesses are considered suitable. Bids are assessed on quality, including social value, weighted at 40%, and price at 60%. Economic selection criteria include a £450,000 requirement; technical criteria are set out in the conditions of participation.

This opportunity suits grounds maintenance contractors able to provide a broad, routine service across multiple locations, covering both soft landscaping and hard surfaces. Bidders should be equipped to manage grass, hedges, shrubs, flower borders, weeds, leaves, litter, unwanted vegetation and lawn fertilisation, as well as inspections of saplings. The work requires operatives who understand their legal responsibilities for protected species, nesting birds, habitats, pollution prevention, waste handling and safe working practices. Suppliers will need to demonstrate the economic standing threshold and meet the technical conditions of participation. The evaluation rewards both service quality and price, with social value included in the quality assessment, so bidders should be able to evidence a credible delivery approach and its wider community value. The single lot and multi-year service term favour providers with capacity for sustained delivery.
