The procurement method employed is an open procedure, which is currently in the award stage following the tender submission period that ended on 26th September 2019. Key geographical delivery locations for the services include areas such as Kinross, Auchterarder, Crieff, and others within the respective councils. Each related lot has distinct characteristics, with a total contract value of £1,720,000 and several contracts actively signed in December 2019 for various areas, with possible extensions of contract duration considered for up to two years. This tender creates significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) involved in landscaping and maintenance services, particularly those with experience in rural area management. Companies capable of providing quality equipment for grass cutting and verge maintenance, along with a proven track record in community engagement and support, will be well-positioned to compete. With multiple lots available and a focus on local community benefits, businesses that can demonstrate their contribution to local employment and training initiatives will gain a competitive advantage in this procurement process. ## Notice Provision of Rural Grass Cutting and Verge Maintenance for the participating councils of Angus Council and Perth & Kinross Council. ### Lot Information Crieff Area Provision of Rural Grass Cutting and Verge Maintenance..
