## Summary

Link Group, based in Edinburgh, UK, is seeking a contractor for the "Landscape Maintenance Contract - Lanarkshire North & South Incl. The Highlands" for the period 2020-2023, with potential extensions. This tender is currently in the active stage of the selective procurement process, which utilises a restricted procedure. The deadline for submissions is 29 November 2019, and the contract is valued at £495,000. The contractor will be required to manage numerous sites across various regions, including Lanarkshire and the Highlands.

Additionally, successful contractors will need to commit to community benefits, making this a compelling opportunity for organisations committed to social responsibility and community engagement.
