## Summary

Herefordshire Council has concluded the award stage for its New Public Realm Services Contract, aimed at delivering extensive public realm works and services across England. This contract focuses on areas such as network resilience, winter services, reactive maintenance, and more, under the industry category of agricultural, forestry, horticultural, aquacultural, and apicultural services. Commencing on 1st June 2026, the contract spans an initial six years and ten months, with potential extensions up to a maximum of ten years. The procurement method used was a competitive procedure with negotiation, suitable for large-scale entities. The contract, valued at up to £200 million, demonstrates Herefordshire Council's commitment to maintaining robust public infrastructure over the long term.

This procurement offers significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those experienced in construction, highway maintenance, and various public infrastructure services. The selective nature of the procurement method opens opportunities for both large-scale operations and SMEs capable of delivering premium services aligned with the council's requirements. The provision of core services such as street cleaning, fleet management, and maintenance of public amenities and transportation infrastructure could significantly contribute to the growth of companies with expertise in these areas. Additionally, this contract positions participating businesses to solidify their presence in the public sector through successful execution and delivery, thus facilitating business growth and potential future collaboration with Herefordshire Council.

The value of the contract stated in this Contract Award Notice aligns with the estimate stated in the Contract Notice. For the purpose of Part D of Annex 5 of the Public Contracts Directive, the value of the successful tender considered for the contract award was PS11,784,765.19 excl. VAT. The Council confirms that PS11,784,765.19 excl. VAT was the evaluated price, calculated using the estimated quantities for a typical year (as set out in the Invitation to Submit Final Tenders). This figure does not take into account indexation, which is applicable under the contract.
