Summary of the contracting process

Molendinar Park Housing Association and Reidvale Housing Association are buying landscape maintenance and landscaping services for their properties in Glasgow, covering areas G31, G40 and G45. The work includes grounds maintenance and landscaping at the locations identified in the works specification and maps. The successful suppliers will enter into a separate framework contract with each housing association. The requirement is principally grounds maintenance, with landscaping work also included. The tender also refers to household-refuse disposal services as an additional classification, but gives no further detail on that element. Community benefits form part of the requirement, with expected benefits set out in the works specification. This is a services contract for work across the two associations’ properties in the stated Glasgow areas.

The associations invited offers through an open procedure for a single-lot framework. The deadline for submissions was 16 November 2026 at 10:00 UTC; bids were due electronically, in English, and variants were not allowed. The stated contract period runs from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2028, with annual extensions at the employers’ discretion through 31 March 2031. The tender documents set out selection standards, quality submission requirements and pricing. Selection is pass/fail; only suppliers passing the selection assessment have quality and price evaluated. Quality carries 70% and price 30%. Price scoring falls by one percentage point for each percentage point above the lowest tender. The four highest combined scorers, including ties for fourth, qualify subject to a minimum quality score of 70%.

This opportunity is suited to contractors able to deliver grounds maintenance and landscaping across multiple housing-association properties in Glasgow, and to manage work under separate framework contracts for two employers. Bidders need to satisfy the minimum supplier selection standards in the specification and selection questionnaire, then provide a quality submission addressing the employers’ stated aspirations and requirements. A quality score of at least 70% is required to be considered among the successful framework suppliers. The quality submission is a substantial part of the competition, alongside competitive pricing; firms should be prepared to evidence how their service and delivery approach meet the specification. Community benefits are required, with the expected commitments detailed in the works schedule. The framework is intended to include up to four contractors.
