This project falls under the Agricultural, forestry, horticultural, aquacultural and apicultural services category, focusing on the review and re-tendering of existing landscape maintenance contracts due to the Council's evolving land portfolio and environmental needs. The tender period ended on 30th January 2019, leading to an award on 20th March 2019, with the contract running from 22nd February 2019 until 1st February 2021, for a total value of £59,300. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in landscape management, environmental consultancy, and ecological services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) could find particularly favourable conditions to compete for future projects, benefiting from the Council's emphasis on eco-friendly practices and modernising their landscape management strategies. Such businesses can leverage their expertise in ecological planning and maintenance to secure a contract that aligns with the Council's contemporary standards and requirements. ## Notice Wealden District Council are seeking to appoint a suitably qualified and experienced consultant for the review the Councils current landscape maintenance contracts and subsequent procurements of new contracts. In 2012 the Council outsourced their landscape maintenance and tree services contracts supported by a number of other arrangements. These contracts are nearing renewal and, in addition, the recent acquisitions the Council have made mean that the present arrangements are no longer suitable for the current land portfolio. In addition the present arrangements are focussed on maintenance operations and need re-focussing to consider environmental and ecological issues. This project is split into two phases as follows: 1 - Review our current contractual arrangements, land and property holdings, report on options available to maintain them and make recommendations to the Council. Review present Landscape Management Plans held by the Council, report on plans held and areas omitted and make recommendations to the Council what is required to provide an acceptable 'portfolio' of Landscape and Ecological Management Plans. Review our current contract management arrangements, report on options available and make recommendations to the Council 2 - Assist in the tendering of new contracts in line with the specification. This is a retender of ESPH261. The specification has been reviewed and additional supporting information is now provided. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5e570dbe-4a2d-46c6-b7f3-75882a15f6bd | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 1 Jul 2019 | | Submission deadline | 30 Jan 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 20 Mar 2019 | | Contract period | 22 Feb 2019 - 1 Feb 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £59,300 | | 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 | SE SHARED SERVICES | | Locality | EAST SUSSEX | | Post town | Brighton | | Postcode | BN27 2AX | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ2 Surrey, East and West Sussex | | ITL 3 | TLJ22 East Sussex CC | | Local authority | Wealden | | Electoral ward | Hailsham Central | | Westminster constituency | Sussex Weald | | Delivery location | TLJ South East (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | LAND MANAGEMENT SERVICES | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 77 - Agricultural, forestry, horticultural, aquacultural and apicultural services - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 77000000 - Agricultural, forestry, horticultural, aquacultural and apicultural services - 79418000 - Procurement consultancy services ## Release History - 1 Jul 2019 at 13:55 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5e570dbe-4a2d-46c6-b7f3-75882a15f6bd ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5e570dbe-4a2d-46c6-b7f3-75882a15f6bd 1st July 2019 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.wealden.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
