## Summary

The recent procurement process by the Reserve Forces' and Cadets' Association of the North West, titled "NW RFCA Grounds Maintenance 2025/26," focuses on providing grounds maintenance services from October 2025 to March 2026. This contract is a direct award due to the urgent need for maintenance until new Future Defence Infrastructure Services contracts come into effect in April 2026. The process was completed swiftly to manage sites across the Liverpool and broader UKD region, aligning with the public authority's role in maintaining sub-central government facilities. ID Verde has been selected as the supplier for this contract, with the main procurement category being landscaping works. The effective service period begins on 3rd October 2025. The procurement method employed was direct, emphasizing urgency due to the potential for health and safety risks at neglected sites.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in landscaping and grounds maintenance to enhance their portfolios by working on projects critical to public infrastructure. Small to medium enterprises (SMEs) with experience in similar government contracts would be well-suited to compete in this space. Companies like ID Verde can leverage such contracts to strengthen ties with public authorities and showcase expertise in handling urgent and essential maintenance tasks. Engaging in such contracts could provide sustained growth and visibility for businesses looking to expand their services in public sector maintenance contracts.

### 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.
