## Summary

The Inverness Campus Owners Association is currently engaged in the award stage of the procurement process for landscape maintenance services titled "ICOA Landscape Maintenance services". Located in Inverness, UK, this tender falls under the services category and was previously opened to tenders as an "open" procurement method.

The winning contractor is required to provide various community benefits and adhere to Fair Work Practices, including minimum wage compliance.
