Summary of the contracting process

Historic Environment Scotland initiated a public procurement process titled "Grounds Maintenance West of Scotland," focused on providing services in the built environment, tourism, conservation, and heritage industry categories. The process, which employed an open procedure, culminated in the awarding of the contract on 5th May 2026 to CM Landscaping & Garden Care Ltd with a contract value of £49,370. The procurement process began with tender notices, amendments to include additional site visits, and was guided by quality and price criteria. The awarding stage is complete, with the contract actively in effect, and key activities and services are anticipated in the West of Scotland (UKM region), with Historic Environment Scotland serving as the buyer from its Edinburgh headquarters.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in landscaping and grounds maintenance, particularly those proficient in executing projects in conservation and heritage locations. Companies equipped with the capability to meet the stringent quality (60%) and competitive pricing (40%) evaluation criteria and those interested in providing services around historical sites in Scotland would find this opportunity beneficial for business growth. The contract also encourages community benefits like local work placements or apprenticeships, offering further avenues for societal contributions and engagement within the local area.
