This project, classified under agricultural and horticultural services, includes routine maintenance tasks such as strimming, mowing, and overall upkeep of various above-ground assets. The tender period concludes on 19th May 2017, with the contract expected to commence on 5th June 2017 and run for one year. The total contract value is estimated at £30,000.

Businesses with a focus on agricultural and horticultural practices, equipped to handle the maintenance of large and varied landscapes, will find this procurement particularly relevant. Engaging with this contract could help expand their portfolio and establish a partnership with a key public authority in the region. ## Notice The Waste Operations Team is looking for quotations for Grounds Maintenance Services at its x9 closed landfill sites located across Northamptonshire. Each landfill site has above ground assets consisting of monitoring boreholes, leachate & gas extraction wells and other plant and equipment. The size of the sites range from 2 acres to 13 hectares and predominantly consists of rough grassland bordered by hedges, trees and bramble scrub. Further information about the locations of the sites and their characteristics are provided within the appendices at the end of this document. Tasks to include: A. Routine work: 1. Strimming around monitoring points and other assets 2. Mowing large areas of rough pasture 3. Mowing paths through the rough pasture 4. Cutting back of woody shrubs, hedges and tree branches along internal access roads and perimeter fencing 5. Strimming back of areas of brush/bramble B. Ad-hoc work (examples below) 6. Repair or replacement of metal or timber fencing 7. Repair or replacement of metal or timber gates 8. Repair, replacement or installation of timber stiles 9. Laying of small areas of hardcore/quarry scalpings surfacing 10. Litter picking The frequency of the work will be mostly weather dependant but is predicted, based on previous years that each site will need to be visited for routine maintenance at least twice during the months between late spring and early autumn. To give an indication, in recent years routine visits have been undertaken in May and August, to coincide with the quarterly environmental monitoring undertaken in June and September. Please note that there are no guarantees as to how many visits will be required by the Council and call offs will be made as and when required. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/74e947ea-a6fb-4f7b-b5d7-405498d2b7ab | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Other - | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 25 Apr 2017 | | Submission deadline | 19 May 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 4 Jun 2017 - 5 Jun 2018 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £30,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NORTHAMPTONSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | NORTHAMPTON | | Post town | Northampton | | Postcode | NN4 0GB | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF2 Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire | | ITL 3 | TLF24 West Northamptonshire | | Local authority | West Northamptonshire | | Electoral ward | East Hunsbury and Shelfleys | | Westminster constituency | Northampton South | | Delivery location | TLF East Midlands (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 77 - Agricultural, forestry, horticultural, aquacultural and apicultural services ### Codes - 77000000 - Agricultural, forestry, horticultural, aquacultural and apicultural services ## Release History - 25 Apr 2017 at 11:38 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/74e947ea-a6fb-4f7b-b5d7-405498d2b7ab ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/74e947ea-a6fb-4f7b-b5d7-405498d2b7ab 25th April 2017 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
