## Summary

The Railway Housing Association is seeking providers for its Grounds Maintenance Services, covering a significant number of homes located across historical GNER railway network locations such as Darlington, Doncaster, and other surrounding areas. This open procedure tender invites proposals until 22 April 2024, for services commencing on 1 July 2024 and ending on 28 February 2031. The project falls under the category of horticultural services with a total value of £150,000 GBP, and is especially oriented towards SMEs and VCSEs. TECTUM Consultancy Ltd oversees this tender, run through the Delta e-Sourcing platform.

This tender represents a substantial opportunity for SMEs involved in horticultural services to compete for and secure long-term contracts, especially as the contract has been split into multiple lots to ensure accessibility. Businesses specializing in grounds maintenance will find it particularly advantageous, given the extensive grounds requiring upkeep across geographically diverse locations. The competitive open procedure allows for multiple lot submissions, with no cap on the number of lots a business can win, offering significant potential for business growth and portfolio expansion.

## Notice

Railway Housing Association owns 1,620 rented homes mainly located adjacent to the historical GNER railway network around Darlington, Doncaster, Durham, East Riding, Hull, Leeds, Newcastle, and York. In addition, it also manages 73 leasehold properties for older people and has a sheltered housing scheme in Hereford. Of the 1,693 homes under RHA's stewardship, more than 1600 require grounds maintenance. This comprises communal grounds, some individual front gardens and in a few cases, even the rear gardens of individual homes. Due to the geographically dispersed nature of RHA's homes, the significant volume of grounds that require maintaining and RHA's commitment to make all opportunities accessible to SME's, the decision has been taken to split this contract into multiple lots. Respondents are welcome to submit proposals for any combination of lots and there is no limit on the number of lots that any single Respondent can win. The current grounds maintenance contract will expire naturally at the end of June 2024, having run its full term, plus the maximum number of permitted extensions. The call for competition is being run on the Delta e-Sourcing platform.
