UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Wickersley Parish Council is procuring grounds maintenance services for its parish. The contract is for maintaining grounds, with the council based in Wickersley, Rotherham. The procurement is categorised as a service. The published description identifies the work as the council’s grounds maintenance contract but does not break it down into individual sites, tasks or service frequencies. Contractors interested in grounds maintenance for a parish council should therefore consider whether this general service area matches their work before reviewing the tender specification.

The council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Contractors were first asked to express interest by 12 noon on 30 October 2026; the tender submission deadline was 12 noon on 20 November 2026. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2030. Its stated value is £30,000 including VAT. Assessment covers the depth and length of relevant experience, staff qualifications and training, health and safety information, other policies (including environmental matters and a waste carriers licence), safe pesticide use, references and pricing. The process reached the tender stage, with contractors invited to pursue the opportunity through the expression-of-interest and tender route.

This opportunity is suited to grounds maintenance contractors able to demonstrate relevant work and provide evidence of its depth and duration. The assessment also considers staff qualifications and training, so suppliers should be prepared to explain the competence of the personnel they would deploy. Health and safety arrangements and supporting information are part of the evaluation, alongside other policies, including environmental matters. The stated criteria also refer to a waste carriers licence and the safe use of pesticides. References and pricing are assessed too. Suppliers with relevant experience, trained staff, robust safety and environmental practices, and the ability to evidence their approach would be well placed to compete. The work is a parish council service contract.
