UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Milborne Port Parish Council is seeking grounds maintenance services for Gainsborough Playpark and other general areas. The work covers grass cutting, strimming, removing brambles and weeds, applying weed spray, and trimming shrubs. Contractors must maintain the specified areas and remove and dispose of waste. The requirement is for services delivered in the Milborne Port area of Somerset, including the playpark. There is one lot covering the grounds maintenance requirement, rather than separate packages for different tasks or locations.

The council invited tenders through an open competition below the UK procurement threshold. The procurement reached the tender stage, with offers invited. The deadline for enquiries was 20 November 2026 at 23:59 UTC, and tenders were due by 30 November 2026 at 23:59 UTC. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 January to 31 December 2027, with a possibility of extension to a total of three years from inception, ending no later than 31 December 2028. The stated gross value is £7,500. Evaluation considers service quality, value for money, local presence and customer testimonials, with the quality of maintenance and service reliability among the considerations.

This requirement is well suited to grounds maintenance contractors able to cover routine work across a playpark and other general areas. The council gives preference to local contractors or businesses with operations near the site, and the lot is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Suppliers should be able to work reliably without close supervision, maintain all specified areas to a high standard and keep to schedule. They will also need to handle the removal and disposal of grounds-maintenance waste. Customer references and evidence of an organised service are relevant to the evaluation. The work calls for practical groundskeeping capability and dependable delivery; the published requirements do not identify a particular accreditation or specialist qualification.
