## Summary

The London Borough of Hillingdon is inviting tenders for the provision of hay cutting and baling services across its extensive green spaces. This procurement process, conducted as an open procedure, comes under the 'parks maintenance services' industry category. The services are required within the UKI74 region in the United Kingdom, specifically focusing on local parks, nature conservation areas, and other green sites maintained by the borough. The tender process is currently active, with critical dates including a submission deadline set for 1st May 2026 and an enquiry period closing on 27th April 2026. The initial contract term is three years, potentially extendable to five years, with the contract commencing on 20th July 2026.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in landscape management and maintenance, especially those equipped to handle large-scale operations. With a procurement value of £300,000, the project is suitable for SMEs capable of delivering high-quality service in a competitive environment. The open procedure allows various firms to bid, promoting fairness and encouraging diverse submissions. Businesses that excel in balancing cost efficiency and quality service are likely to be strong competitors, given the award criteria splitting equally between price and quality.
