## Summary

The Reserve Forces' and Cadets' Associations of Yorkshire and the Humber, located in York, recently completed a procurement process titled "Grounds Maintenance 25/26" under the direct award method. This procurement, identified by the ID "ocds-h6vhtk-0564d5", falls within the works category of the landscaping industry. The procurement process concluded on 7th August 2025 and involved a contract for grounds maintenance services set to begin on 8th August 2025 and end on 31st March 2026. The contract was necessitated by delays in incorporating grounds maintenance into the new Future Defence Infrastructure Services (FDIS) contracts, making this an interim solution. The awarded contractor, AWS Landscaping Ltd, a small and medium-sized enterprise located in Doncaster, secured the contract valued at £69,951.60.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for growth for businesses specialising in landscaping and grounds maintenance. SMEs, particularly those based in or near Yorkshire and the Humber, are well-positioned to benefit from such public procurement processes as they can offer competitive, regionally focused solutions. The urgency and specificity of this tender demonstrate the need for businesses that can quickly adapt to meet immediate demand, showcasing their ability to address public sector needs efficiently and effectively. With the landscape maintenance industry being crucial for local government properties, this type of contract could boost the reputation and expand the business portfolio of the participating suppliers.

### Procurement Information

Council of RFCA and 13 legally autonomous RFCAs have moved onto the Future Defence Infrastructure Services (FDIS) contracts as of 1 Aug 2024. Work on getting grounds maintenance within the FDIS contract has been ongoing since ISD and includes new drawings of all sites by region. This work took longer than the anticipated 6 month time frame and from 1 April 2025 , sites have been left with no grounds maintenance making them unsightly, inviting anti-social behaviour and a risk to health and safety. It was necessary to put in place arrangements until 1 April 2026, when all RFCAs will have grounds maintenance provision written into the FDIS contracts through a contract variation.
