## Summary

The Priory Learning Trust is currently seeking expressions of interest for the provision of grounds maintenance services through a tailored contract. This tender falls under the landscaping work industry category and encompasses multiple sites across Somerset, specifically schools like The King Alfred School and Priory Community School. The contract has an estimated value of £50,000 and is due to start on 1st April 2020, with the tender period ending on 6th December 2019. The procurement process is a competitive quotation, classified as limited, with an initial term of three years and the possibility of a two-year extension.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in landscaping and grounds maintenance to expand their services within the educational sector. Companies that are experienced in maintaining both natural and artificial sports surfaces, as well as providing ancillary landscaping works, would be particularly well-suited to compete. Additionally, businesses that have the capacity to operate across multiple locations in Somerset and potentially the wider South West region will find this a valuable opportunity for growth, especially given the Trust's potential for expanding its network of academies during the contract period.
