## Summary

The Railway Housing Association (RHA) recently completed a tender process for Grounds Maintenance Services, categorised under horticultural services (CPV code 77300000). The procurement, conducted via an open procedure, covered multiple geographic areas including the North East, Yorkshire & Humber, Hexham, South Shields, Hull, Leeds, and Hereford. The overall contract was divided into eight lots to allow for wider participation, particularly encouraging SMEs to bid. The procurement process culminated in awards for all lots, with contracts signed on dates ranging from May to July 2024. The awarded contracts have an initial term of 33 months, with two optional extensions of 24 months each. The process involved an evaluation based on a 60% quality and 40% price criterion.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in grounds maintenance services, particularly SMEs looking to expand their portfolio within the public sector. The division of the contract into multiple lots means that smaller businesses have a viable chance to secure work without competing for the entire contract at once. Successful bidders included Landscape Solutions North East Ltd, Malc Firth Landscapes Ltd, and Daniel Squire Ltd, who now have the opportunity to build long-term relationships with RHA and potentially leverage this work for further public and private sector tenders. Businesses with expertise in horticultural services and a track record of maintaining communal and individual garden spaces would find such contracts ideal for showcasing their capabilities and growing their market footprint.
