## Summary

NHS Borders is seeking contractors for the "Gardening Services Framework" to provide comprehensive gardening services, covering both planned and reactive works. This procurement falls under the services category and is currently in the award stage, having been awarded to Raker Landscaping for four distinct districts in the region. The framework agreement includes a delivery period commencing on 1st September 2017, with a value of £30,000 and extends for a maximum of 24 months, potentially continuing until around January 2021. The submission deadline for bids was 11th August 2017, and all services are required to be executed in various delivery locations across the UKM24 region, including towns such as Peebles, Galashiels, and Hawick.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in landscaping and gardening services, particularly those capable of handling both routine maintenance and emergency repairs. Businesses with local expertise and a commitment to community benefits, such as working with local tradespeople and offering apprenticeships, would be particularly well-suited to compete for this framework. The open procurement method encourages a diverse array of suppliers, making this an ideal opportunity for both small and medium-sized enterprises to engage with public contracts and expand their market presence.
