## Summary

Bishop Chadwick Catholic Education Trust procured grounds maintenance and associated services for its estate in the North East of England. The requirement covers grounds maintenance as the main service category, with associated services included through the YPO DPS for Grounds Maintenance and Associated Services, Lot 4, which covers multiple grounds services and associated services. This is a service contract for an education trust, so relevant suppliers are those able to maintain grounds across the trust’s locations and manage associated grounds-related requirements as one service provision. The procurement is classified under CPV 77314000, grounds maintenance services. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, broadening its potential supplier base.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a further competition through the YPO DPS for Grounds Maintenance and Associated Services, using Lot 4. The award was made on 5 August 2026 to Countrywide Grounds Maintenance Services Limited for £643,000, with the procurement’s estimated value recorded as £643,000.01 and its minimum value as £643,000, all in GBP. The awarded contract period runs from 1 December 2026 to 30 November 2031. Bishop Chadwick Catholic Education Trust is the buyer. The tender deadline was 5 August 2026 at 17:00. The recorded basis was a further competition via the DPS; the award record identifies one active award and one supplier.

This award demonstrates established demand from Bishop Chadwick Catholic Education Trust for a substantial, multi-year grounds maintenance and associated services arrangement across the North East of England. A credible competitor for this buyer’s future requirement would need a reliable grounds maintenance operation, the capacity to deliver multiple related services through a single arrangement, and the systems needed to perform consistently for an education-sector client. The successful supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by an appropriately resourced SME rather than only by a large national provider. Suppliers familiar with further competitions under a public-sector dynamic purchasing system, and able to evidence dependable service delivery at comparable scale, would be well placed.
