Summary of the contracting process

East Kilbride Housing Association Ltd is seeking a contractor for open-space maintenance across its operational areas in East Kilbride, with the work potentially extending to a wider geographical area in future. The service supports the Association’s cyclical maintenance programme and covers grass cutting, grass-area repairs and maintenance, planting, shrub-bed maintenance, pruning, weed control, litter picking, path brushing, and hedge and tree maintenance. It also includes ad hoc repairs to hard and soft landscaping when instructed. Area plans and the detailed maintenance schedule define the sites and required work. This is a public landscaping and grounds-maintenance service contract for housing-association open spaces, with associated path, vegetation and landscape repair duties.

The procurement has reached tender: the Association invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. There is one lot. The tender deadline is 15 October 2026 at 12:00 UTC, when bids are also scheduled to be opened. The contract is for 36 months, with two possible single-year extensions, giving a maximum duration of 60 months. The estimated value is £300,000 GBP. Bids must remain valid for 90 days. Evaluation is weighted 60% to cost of service and 40% to quality. Variants are not allowed. The contract uses electronic payment and ordering, and electronic invoicing is permitted. The requirement includes community-benefit obligations, with the expected contribution set out in the tender documents.

This opportunity suits established grounds-maintenance, landscaping and arboricultural contractors able to deliver a broad, recurring service across housing-association estates. Relevant capability includes managing grass-cutting programmes; repairing and maintaining grassed areas; planting and caring for shrubs; pruning; weed control; litter picking; brushing paths; and maintaining hedges and trees. Bidders should also be equipped to undertake responsive repairs to hard and soft landscaping and to work from area plans, specifications, maintenance schedules and performance requirements. The procurement requires staff names and qualifications, and its selection criteria state that service delivery is reserved to a particular profession, so professionally qualified teams should review the tender’s eligibility requirements carefully. The contract also calls for community-benefit commitments, making it relevant to suppliers able to provide those outcomes alongside routine maintenance.
