## Summary

Nottingham City Council has announced a planned procurement process titled "CPU 8399 Grounds Maintenance & Support," focused on seeking experienced suppliers for a grounds maintenance services framework within the Nottingham area (region UKF14, United Kingdom). This initiative, currently in the planning stage, is outlined as a pipeline notice to alert potential bidders of a future tender opportunity under the Procurement Act 2023. While no immediate action is required from suppliers, the council has indicated that the official tender will be published on their e-tendering platform, with a further notice expected by 1st October 2026. The procurement method is an open procedure, matching the overarching category of services with a contract period from 1st December 2026 to 30th November 2030. The gross value of this procurement is approximately £2.4 million.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for growth, particularly for businesses specialising in grounds maintenance services. It is especially suited for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), given the framework agreement settings that support inclusion and scalability. With potential access to a significant market within the public sector, companies adept in efficient grounds maintenance and service delivery can leverage this opportunity to expand their portfolio with Nottingham City Council as a key client. The open procurement method facilitates a broad participation scope, promoting competitive engagement and potential business expansion.
