## Summary

The Cambridge Housing Society Limited procured grounds maintenance services for its requirements in the East of England. The work covers grounds maintenance; no more detailed tasks or site locations are described. The buyer is based in Cambridge. This is a services contract, rather than a supply of goods or construction works.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Mark Walker (Grounds Maintenance) Ltd. The award date was 31 October 2021. The awarded value was £482,798. The contract period runs from 1 November 2021 to 31 March 2027. The buyer used a selective procedure and made a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender had a submission deadline of 31 October 2021. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable to take part, while voluntary, community and social enterprises were not. The award data identifies one supplier and one award; the evaluation criteria are not described.

This award shows that The Cambridge Housing Society buys grounds maintenance through a framework call-off, and that the requirement was awarded to a specialist grounds maintenance company. A future competitor would need to demonstrate the operational capacity to maintain the buyer’s grounds across its East of England requirements, together with relevant grounds maintenance experience and the ability to deliver reliably over a multi-year contract. The procurement was marked as suitable for SMEs, indicating that smaller firms could be credible competitors, although the selected supplier is recorded as large. Suppliers with an appropriate framework position and the capacity to meet the buyer’s service needs would be best placed to compete if this requirement returns to market.
