The procurement is currently at the award stage, with the contract having been officially awarded on 26th February 2020. This contract is set to commence from 1st April 2020, terminating on 31st March 2023, and has an estimated value of £80,000, with bids requiring a minimum of £60,000. The procurement method used was a competitive quotation, which is typical for below-threshold contracts. The contract is classified under the Recreational, Cultural, and Sporting Services category. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses that specialise in grounds maintenance, landscaping, and horticultural design, particularly for those with proven expertise in delivering sustainable and creative planting solutions. Companies that aim to enhance local environments and can showcase their previous work will find this contract favourable. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to participate, as the council is looking for innovation and a commitment to high standards in service delivery. ## Notice Ross-on-Wye Town Council is responsible for areas of land situated within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and the Conservation Area. The current contracts for Grounds Maintenance and Planting are due to expire and the Council wishes to amalgamate the services into one contract to realise some financial savings whilst looking at on-going improvements to service delivery. The Contract consists briefly of designing a scheme for the planting and maintenance of formal beds, some within high profile areas within the town. There is a drive to move to a sustainable planting scheme for environmental and ecological benefits and therefore consideration will be given as to how the Contractor will seek to achieve this through an ambitious and creative design. Also included within the Contract is responsibility for grounds maintenance, i.e. grass cutting and strimming. The Council is aware the land within its control is widely used for amenity purposes and leisure activities and therefore ideas for developing the maintenance programme to achieve improved results will be welcomed. The Council will be looking at appointing a contractor with a proven track record in this sector and an organisation which can demonstrate a commitment to driving up standards through investing in its staff. A portfolio of previous schemes of work highlighting competency, creativity and capability will be welcome with all bids. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/60920fd7-4633-4be8-a381-fba07aa5889c | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Competitive quotation (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 26 Feb 2020 | | Submission deadline | 31 Jan 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 26 Feb 2020 | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2020 - 31 Mar 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £80,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £60,111 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | ROSS-ON-WYE TOWN COUNCIL | | Locality | ROSS-ON-WYE | | Post town | Hereford | | Postcode | HR9 5HL | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG1 Herefordshire, Worcestershire and Warwickshire | | ITL 3 | TLG11 Herefordshire, County of | | Local authority | Herefordshire, County of | | Electoral ward | Ross West | | Westminster constituency | Hereford and South Herefordshire | | Delivery location | TLF East Midlands (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | MONMOUTHSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 92 - Recreational, cultural and sporting services ### Codes - 92000000 - Recreational, cultural and sporting services ## Release History - 26 Feb 2020 at 16:04 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/60920fd7-4633-4be8-a381-fba07aa5889c - 15 Jan 2020 at 11:06 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/50e8aec6-34bb-4187-b731-6229957d1546 - 13 Dec 2019 at 13:06 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/50e8aec6-34bb-4187-b731-6229957d1546 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/60920fd7-4633-4be8-a381-fba07aa5889c 26th February 2020 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/50e8aec6-34bb-4187-b731-6229957d1546 15th January 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/2faaac8b-bbc5-4d65-8d9b-10bdca6e5b39 Grounds Maintenance and Planting Contract Dec 2019 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
