UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Milborne Port Parish Council is seeking a contractor to maintain the Springfield Road playing fields in Milborne Port. The work is regular, scheduled cutting of grass pitches and verges, together with weed maintenance. Grounds maintenance is the service category. The contractor is also expected to attend to all specified areas, keep work to schedule and remove and dispose of waste as necessary. The requirement covers the playing fields and verges at Springfield Road; the published delivery location is identified as the United Kingdom.

The council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. This process reached the tender stage, with bids requested by email to the council’s projects address and electronic submission not permitted. The deadline for questions was 20 November 2026 at 23:59 UTC, and the bid deadline was 30 November 2026 at 23:59 UTC. The contract is for one year, from 1 January to 31 December 2027, with possible extensions that could take the total term to three years. The stated gross value is £6,000. Evaluation gives greatest weight to service quality, followed by value for money and then preference for locally based contractors. Quality includes reliability, working without supervision and maintaining grounds to a high standard.

This opportunity is suited to grounds maintenance businesses able to provide reliable, scheduled grass cutting and weed control across playing fields and verges. Contractors should be able to work independently, maintain all required areas to a high standard, meet the timetable and remove and dispose of resulting waste. The council favours locally based contractors, so businesses with an established local presence may be better placed to compete. Small and medium-sized businesses are identified as suitable. The service calls for the practical capacity to carry out recurring outdoor maintenance through the contract term, rather than a one-off clearance or landscaping project. A strong offer will demonstrate dependable delivery and show how the annual service provides value in relation to its quality.
