East Kilbride Housing Association Ltd is seeking an open-space maintenance contractor for its cyclical maintenance programme. The service covers grass cutting, repairs and maintenance to grassed areas, planting, shrub-bed maintenance, pruning, weed control, litter picking, path brushing, and hedge and tree maintenance. It also includes ad hoc repairs to hard and soft landscaping, instructed by the Association. The work is generally across the Association’s open-space areas in East Kilbride, with the possibility of a wider geographical area in future. Area plans, a maintenance schedule and the detailed scope are included in the tender documents. This is a services contract covering open-space maintenance, landscaping and landscape gardening, including repair and maintenance services.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure. It is a single-lot competition, with electronic submission required and variants not allowed. Bids were due by 12:00 on 15 October 2026; bids were to remain valid for 90 days. The planned contract period is 36 months, with two optional single-year extensions, allowing a maximum period of 60 months. The estimated total value is £300,000.
