## Summary

Historic England is seeking gardening and grounds maintenance services at Brooklands House in Cambridge. The work covers routine grass cutting and maintenance, shrub and herbaceous border or bed care, hedge maintenance, litter management, sweeping and cleaning. It also includes collecting, redistributing and composting leaves and woody debris, annual tree pruning, and annual jet washing of external slabs and steps. This is a landscape gardening and grounds maintenance services requirement, covering the upkeep of an established heritage property and its external areas. The buyer is Historic England, a central government public authority. Delivery is at Brooklands House, Cambridge, and the procurement is arranged as a single lot.

The process has reached tender: Historic England invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Suppliers could submit offers electronically through the buyer’s tendering portal, using project reference PREF 572. Enquiries had to be submitted by 1 September 2026 at 17:00, and offers by 7 September 2026 at 09:30. The contract period is 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029. The estimated overall value is £54,000 excluding VAT, or £64,800 including VAT. The single lot records the same amounts but gives the currency as AED, so suppliers should check the tender documents carefully. The contract will be awarded on the most economically advantageous tender basis: price carries 30% and quality 70%.

This opportunity suits grounds maintenance contractors, landscape gardening businesses and specialist estate or heritage-property maintenance providers able to deliver planned and seasonal outdoor work over a three-year period. Relevant capability includes maintaining lawns, shrubs, herbaceous planting and hedges; managing litter and site cleanliness; handling and composting green waste; carrying out annual tree pruning; and jet washing external paving and steps. Suppliers should have the staff, equipment and operational capacity to provide these services reliably at a named property in Cambridge, including the ability to coordinate different maintenance activities through the year. Because quality accounts for most of the evaluation, businesses with a strong service method, appropriate horticultural expertise and evidence of dependable grounds maintenance delivery should be well placed to compete.
