This tender, identified as "NCC GM 2019," is currently in the award stage after being published on 3 April 2019. The procurement method used is a competitive quotation below the threshold, with a tender deadline set for 26 April 2019. The services will primarily involve maintaining green areas, including routine and ad-hoc tasks across sites ranging from 0.8 to 13 hectares. The planned contract period spans from 1 June 2019 to 31 May 2020. This tender presents an excellent growth opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) specialising in landscaping and grounds maintenance. Businesses experienced in managing environmental projects, such as repair of fencing, tree pruning, and general landscape upkeep, will be particularly well-suited to compete. It is a chance to engage with local authority contracts and demonstrate capability in sustainable maintenance practices, aligning with the growing emphasis on environmental stewardship. ## Notice Northamptonshire County Council is looking for quotations for Grounds Maintenance Services at its x9 closed landfill sites located across Northamptonshire.

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 routine visits will be required by the Council and call offs will be made as and when required.
