## Summary

The Cranbrook Town Council, situated in Devon, is currently overseeing the tender process for the "Management of the Country Park, Open Spaces and Green Spaces." This initiative falls under the industry category of miscellaneous repair and maintenance services and aims to ensure the continued upkeep of local parks and green areas. The tender, which is in the award stage, was published on 11 October 2018 and has a total contract value of approximately £197,450.45. The contract is set to commence on 1 April 2019 and will conclude on 31 March 2024. Interested parties had until 23 November 2018 to submit their tenders under the open procurement procedure.

This procurement presents significant business opportunities, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in horticultural and maintenance services. With Cranbrook's population expected to grow substantially in the coming years, successful management of its green spaces will be crucial, thus enabling businesses capable of delivering high-quality landscaping and maintenance to thrive in this evolving local market. Suppliers in this sector should consider leveraging their expertise to contribute positively to the community while also benefiting from the financial aspects of the contract.

## Notice

The town of Cranbrook in Devon started being constructed in 2011 on land which used to be green fields. Currently, approximately 4,000 residents occupy approximately 1,800 dwellings; this figure is projected to rise to in excess of 20,000 residents occupying 8,000 dwellings by 2031. So far, infrastructure including roads, footpaths, cycleways, a district heating scheme, a bus service, train station, a multi-purpose building, retail space, nurseries, primary and secondary schools, a GP surgery as well as a pharmacy has been delivered. Cranbrook Town Council ("the Council") came into being in May 2015 and has started to discharge its functions as a statutory local authority, representing the most local level of government. It has an important role in promoting the town, representing its interests and supporting the work of different groups in the community. On 1 April 2018, the Council assumed responsibility for the maintenance of Phases 1 and 2 of the Country Park as well as other green and public open spaces in the town. This date forms a landmark in the history of the development of the town. The Council is now inviting tenders to assume contractual responsibility from 1 April 2019 onwards for the maintenance of the Country Park, open spaces and green spaces in its obligation to ensure best value for public money. The Council is inviting tenders under the open procedure.
