The industry category for this procurement is landscaping work, and the key services include shrub maintenance, grass cutting, and seasonal planting, among others. This tender is currently at the active stage, with submissions closing on 25th May 2026, and the contract scheduled to commence on 3rd July 2026. Interested parties should ensure registration on the Central Digital Platform as all submissions must comply with the legal standards outlined under legal basis 2023/54. The procurement method is open, inviting wide participation via the Pro-Contract portal. This contract represents a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly those experienced in facilities management and landscaping services. The tender is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and offers a 3+1+1 years contract structure, potentially extending to 5 years. It provides a substantial scope for sustained business growth, with an initial estimated value of £815,000, which can increase with year-on-year extensions. Bidders, capable of delivering high-quality landscaping services either directly or through managed subcontractors, will find this an excellent business prospect, particularly amid compliance requirements such as TUPE in commercial evaluations. The combination of commercial and technical quality criteria, including social value considerations, ensures diverse opportunities for contractors demonstrating both cost-effectiveness and superior service quality. ## Notice TfGM is looking to establish a new contract for a single supplier to provide landscaping requirements across its estate. TfGM oversees facilities management at 60 sites throughout the 10 Councils of Greater Manchester. Its varied portfolio encompasses 22 bus stations, one railway station, 14 railway car parks, two logistics facilities and warehouses, the Leigh Guided Busway (LEGB), as well as multiple roundabouts. The Tenderer must be able to provide the services themselves or via a suitable subcontractor that they will manage and be responsible for during the contract term. The Tenderer shall provide all labour, materials, equipment, and supervision necessary to carry out the services described within this document. Works shall include, but are not limited to, grass cutting, shrub and hedge maintenance, weed control, hard-surface cleansing, litter removal, arboriculture tasks, seasonal planting, and general landscape upkeep. All services must be delivered in compliance with relevant legislation, industry best practice, and agreed performance standards. This is a 3+1+1 year contract, leading to a potential 5 years contract duration. Please note that TUPE may be a requirement on this tender and Tenderers will be required to complete two separate pricing schedules, one including proposed TUPE costs in the overall cost AND one excluding (or without) them. TfGM will determine whether TUPE applies or not after the bids have been received and prior to moderation and award. This will be communicated to all Tenderers that have bid, at this point and will confirm which pricing schedule will be used. TfGM's decision will be based on the facts as to which TfGM believe is the correct basis to moderate the commercial element of bids on (i.e. the TUPE Included price or the TUPE Excluded price). Any Tenderer wishing to submit a response to this tender must ensure that they are registered on the Central Digital Platform (CDP). TfGM reserves the right to amend award criteria in this procurement under section 24(1) of the Procurement Act 2023. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Renewal: There are x2 single year extensions available and will be taken up if required. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/038436-2026 | | Notice type | UK4 - Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 28 Apr 2026 | | Submission deadline | 25 May 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 2 Jul 2026 - 2 Jul 2029 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £815,000 | | Lots value | £815,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | TRANSPORT FOR GREATER MANCHESTER | | Locality | MANCHESTER | | Post town | Manchester | | Postcode | M1 3BG | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD3 Greater Manchester | | ITL 3 | TLD33 Manchester | | Local authority | Manchester | | Electoral ward | Piccadilly | | Westminster constituency | Manchester Central | | Delivery location | TLD3 Greater Manchester | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45112700 - Landscaping work ## Release History - 28 Apr 2026 at 10:22 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/038436-2026 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/038436-2026 28th April 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - https://procontract.due-north.com/Register - https://tfgm.com - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
