UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Norse Eastern Ltd, through its Norse Grounds division, is seeking a supplier to provide routine grass cutting and verge maintenance in Norwich. The work is a grounds-maintenance service covering grass cutting; the procurement also classifies it as verge maintenance work (CPV 45233229). Norse Commercial Services Ltd is managing the procurement on Norse Eastern’s behalf. Delivery is in the Norwich area. The requirement is for a continuing programme of grounds maintenance rather than a one-off mowing job, making it relevant to grounds-maintenance contractors able to undertake verge and grass-cutting services in the area.

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure. The enquiry deadline was 19 October 2026 at 13:30, and the bid deadline was 18 November 2026 at 11:00. The stated decision period ends on 1 December 2026. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 February 2027 to 29 February 2028, with three possible 12-month renewals, extending the maximum period to 28 February 2031. The estimated value is £525,000 excluding VAT (£630,000 including VAT). There is one lot, which is identified as suitable for SMEs. Evaluation is weighted 50% on price, 40% on quality and 10% on social value. Bids may be submitted electronically in English.

This is a sizeable, recurring grounds-maintenance requirement suited to suppliers with the operational capacity to deliver routine grass cutting and verge maintenance across Norwich, and to maintain service standards over an initial contract period with options for further annual renewals. Small and medium-sized businesses are expressly considered suitable, so the opportunity is not restricted to large contractors. The evaluation gives half the weighting to price, while quality and social value together account for the other half; bidders therefore need to demonstrate both competitive pricing and a credible service approach, alongside relevant social value commitments. The buyer describes the requirement as seeking suitably qualified bids, so grounds-maintenance experience and the ability to organise reliable delivery are pertinent.
