Summary of the contracting process

Calvay Housing Association is seeking a main contractor to provide landscape maintenance across its owned areas in Barlanark, Glasgow. The work covers routine maintenance of open spaces and associated reactive repairs to both hard and soft landscaped areas. This is a grounds maintenance services contract, including upkeep and repair work rather than a supply of goods. The service is for the Association’s sites in Barlanark; the tender identifies Glasgow as the wider location. The procurement is intended to appoint a contractor to deliver the landscape maintenance service for the Association.

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure. The submission deadline set was 8 December 2026 at 12:00 UTC; the evaluation period was due to start then. The contract period is 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2030, with a possible two-year extension in two one-year increments, dependent on contractor performance. No overall contract value is stated. Bidders must have yearly turnover of at least £150,000 in each of the last three financial years. Evaluation is weighted 70% on price and 30% on quality. Variants are not allowed. Bids must remain valid for 90 days. Community benefits are to be equivalent to 3% of the awarded contract cost.

This requirement is suited to contractors with the capability to maintain both hard and soft landscaping, carry out routine open-space maintenance and respond to repair needs across housing association sites. Bidders need to meet the stated minimum turnover threshold in each of the three preceding financial years, and service delivery is reserved to a particular profession. The buyer requires the names and qualifications of assigned staff. Contractors must confirm in their tender that operatives will be paid at least the Real Living Wage (Scotland) 2026 rate; failure to meet this condition leads to exclusion. TUPE applies, and incumbent cost and operative information is available in the tender documentation. A subcontract clause applies, and delivery includes community benefits.
