## Summary

Surrey County Council has initiated the Countryside Services Framework, a comprehensive contract aimed at providing a range of Countryside Services, including grounds maintenance, across public Highway verges, public rights of way, and other countryside locations. The procurement process began with a tender stage, which ended on 5 February 2023, and has now culminated in the award stage. The framework contract, valued at £6,000,000, will commence on 1 April 2024 and run until 31 March 2028. The procurement method was an open procedure, specifically designed for below-threshold contracts. This initiative falls under the industry category of Grounds Maintenance Services (CPV: 77314000), and the primary area of delivery is the South East region of the United Kingdom.

This framework provides significant opportunities for business growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) due to its open procurement method and explicit suitability criteria. Companies specialising in environmental services, grounds maintenance, and related activities are well-suited to compete for such contracts. By partnering with Surrey County Council, businesses can secure a stable, long-term contract spanning four years, allowing for predictable revenue and enhanced growth in the specified industry sector.
