## Summary

The procurement process involves Rochdale Boroughwide Housing Ltd seeking to lease grounds maintenance equipment as part of their ongoing efforts to enhance the Neighbourhood Environment Team and improve service delivery in Rochdale. The tender is currently in the Award stage following its completion, with a total contract value of £235,654, signed on 21 January 2022. The procurement method employed is an open procedure, and the classification falls under goods, specifically grounds-maintenance equipment, targeting suppliers capable of meeting the operational demands across various communal areas and properties managed by the organisation.

This tender presents notable opportunities for businesses specializing in grounds maintenance equipment and services.

Furthermore, with options for contract extensions available, the successful supplier may establish a long-term relationship with Rochdale Boroughwide Housing Ltd, potentially leading to further contracts in regional developments and maintenance projects aimed at enhancing community living standards.

## Notice

In 2015 RBH decided to bring the ground maintenance service in-house from Rochdale Council. Since then RBH have been reviewing the service that we provide and how we provide it. RBH renamed the service to Neighbourhood Environment Team and merged the grounds maintenance service and caretaking service into one service area. RBH currently maintain 1,000,000 m2 of land and have 12,176 properties throughout the Borough of Rochdale. RBH owned land and communal areas are maintained and cleaned over a two-week rolling period. Throughout the summer months RBH employ 53 operatives that is reduced to 45 during the winter period. As well as maintaining grassed areas and shrubs/bushes RBH are responsible for clearing all garage sites, pathways, play areas and drying areas and communal seating areas. Having reliable gardening equipment and as little downtime as possible is crucial for RBH in keeping our promise to our tenants of a better place to live and work in Rochdale
