## Summary

Surrey County Council has awarded a framework contract titled "Countryside Services Framework" aimed at providing a variety of countryside services. These services encompass grounds maintenance on public highway verges, public rights of way, and other countryside sites in the South East region of the United Kingdom. Classified under CPV code 77314000 (Grounds maintenance services), the open procedure tender with a value of £2,000,000 was initiated on 22nd July 2024, and subsequently awarded on 1st August 2024. The contract will run from 1st April 2024 to 31st March 2028.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). The open procedure, designed to be inclusive for below-threshold tenders, is well-suited for businesses specialising in environmental services, infrastructure maintenance and highway services. Competing for and winning this framework creates opportunities to work closely with a major public sector entity, Surrey County Council, and expand service portfolios in the South East region.
