## Summary

City of Doncaster Council has initiated a tender process for the "Rural Verge Flailing" project, focused on maintaining rural roads with two cyclic cuts annually. Set within South Yorkshire, the procurement belongs to the industries of verge maintenance, highway maintenance, and grounds maintenance. The procurement method adopted is open competition below the threshold, inviting the participation of small and medium enterprises and voluntary community sector enterprises. The tender period closes on 30th January 2026, with significant attention given to the cost-quality award criteria of 70% cost and 30% quality. The project is valued at £150,000, with potential renewal for an additional three-year extension.

This tender provides substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in agricultural, forestry, horticultural, and grounds maintenance services, particularly those in South Yorkshire. Organisations keen on expanding into highway and tree-cutting services will find a competitive edge here. With a focus on cost efficiency balanced with quality output, businesses with established experience in verge and hedge trimming should consider submitting proposals. Moreover, the tender's reserved participation for SMEs and VCSEs makes it an ideal opportunity for smaller enterprises to solidify their presence in public works and contribute to regional infrastructure development.
