## Summary

Sheffield City Council is inviting quotations for the "Hedge Cutting Services Framework" under an open procurement method, specifically targeting the hedge trimming industry. This initiative aims to maintain the hedges that are integral to the aesthetic appeal of council estates, spanning areas between 2,000m² to 20,000m² across Yorkshire and the Humber. The contract has a total value of £20,000 and is set to run from June 1, 2018, to May 31, 2022. The award notice was published on March 6, 2019, with the tender period closing on May 30, 2018.

This framework represents a significant opportunity for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community sector enterprises (VCSEs) to engage in public sector landscaping services. Businesses specializing in horticulture and landscape maintenance will find this procurement appealing, particularly those with strong local ties to Sheffield. The bidding process allows for the development of long-term partnerships with the council, potentially leading to consistent work over the four-year duration of the contract.

## Notice

Hedges are a significant feature of many council estates across the city and provide structure and variety to the aesthetic appearance of the estates. Hedges have multiple functions within the estate landscape including providing screening, privacy and boundary demarcation. Good horticultural maintenance of the hedge contributes to the quality of the surroundings. They also contribute to the individuality of each area. The number and size of hedges are significant across the city and have been divided into packages by area to ensure manageability of the work. Packages vary from around 2,000m2 to 20,000m2. Sheffield City Council is seeking quotations from a number of suppliers to be placed on a framework for up to 4 years for hedge cutting services.
