## Summary

Dorset Council is leading the procurement process titled "Greenspace Framework 2023" which focuses on the agricultural, forestry, horticultural, aquacultural, and apicultural services industry. The procurement stage has advanced to the "award" phase effective 2nd September 2024, valued at £10,000,000. This framework agreement covers a variety of countryside services and supplies across multiple lots, ranging from Countryside Access and Rights of Way to Playground Equipment and Safety Inspections. The contract period runs from 3rd September 2024 to 2nd September 2028. The procurement method applied is an open procedure, and the services will be provided at locations throughout Dorset, United Kingdom.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for business growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in countryside management, landscaping, arboriculture, and play/sports equipment installation. The framework's division into multiple lots allows for specialization, enabling businesses focused on specific areas such as weed control, verge cutting, and safety inspections to compete effectively. The involvement of numerous SMEs as suppliers demonstrates the framework's suitability for small-scale industries, fostering innovation and local economic development.
