## Summary

The Cambridgeshire County Council and South Cambridgeshire District Council are seeking to appoint a provider for the Grounds Maintenance Contract 2018, covering Park & Ride, Guided Busway sites, and housing sites in South Cambridgeshire. This public procurement process is currently at the Award stage, with the winning supplier, SP Landscapes and Tree Contractors, announced on 12 September 2018. The contract is set to commence on 5 October 2018, lasting for an initial period of three years with the option to extend for up to two additional years. The estimated annual value of the contract is approximately £510,000, with an overall value estimated at £2,550,000 over its duration. Services required include grass cutting, tree and shrub maintenance, and management of grounds maintenance activities across various locations in the East of England.

This opportunity presents significant business growth potential for landscaping and horticultural companies, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that can fulfil the contract's requirements. With relatively flexible service expectations, businesses that can efficiently manage grounds maintenance tasks, supply necessary equipment and materials, and demonstrate an ability to adhere to quality and performance standards will be well-positioned to compete in this tender. Engaging in this contract not only facilitates the establishment of a long-term relationship with the councils but also enhances visibility within the public sector market.
