## Summary

The Angus Housing Association Ltd has awarded the Landscape Maintenance Contract to Angus Council for properties and sites in Arbroath, Forfar, and Dundee, UK. This contract, valued at 393,958.39 GBP, was signed on 23rd February 2024. The procurement method used was a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract is for landscape maintenance services from 1st April 2024 to 31st March 2027, falling under the main procurement category of services.

This procurement process presents opportunities for businesses in the housing and community amenities sector to compete for landscape maintenance contracts. Due to the limited competition observed in previous tender exercises, businesses that can provide cost-effective and competitive services in the maintenance industry may find this tender particularly suited to their expertise. The award was made following a procurement rationale decision based on the lack of past competition, emphasizing efficiency and sustainability in public procurement processes within the Scottish regulations.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

Landscape Maintenance contract to be carried out to properties / sites owned by Angus Housing Association from 1st April 2024 - 31st March 2027. As this was a Public to Public award under the PCS Regs the contract was negotiated directly with the Local Authority and therefore no award criteria other than the specification of works and cost were considered

### Procurement Information

The decision to issue this VEAT Notice arises from the Contracting Authority's observation of a consistent lack of competition in previous tender exercises for landscape maintenance services. Despite efforts to attract multiple bids, the number of participating suppliers has been limited, leading to concerns regarding the competitiveness and cost-effectiveness of the tender process. Furthermore, historical data from previous tender exercises has revealed that the tender returns received were disproportionately expensive compared to the estimated value of the services and to that of the incumbent Local Authority submission. Such expensive tender returns have not only strained the budget allocated for landscape maintenance but also raised questions about the efficiency and sustainability of the procurement process. This decision is made in accordance with Regulation 13.8 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 (Public Contracts between entities within the Public Sector) which allows for the award of contracts without prior publication between entities within the public sector where 1.the contract is for the purpose of establishing or implementing co-operation between the contracting authorities with the aim of ensuring that public services they have to perform are provided with a view to achieving objectives they have in common; 2.the implementation of that co-operation is governed solely by considerations relating to the public interest; and 3.the contracting authorities perform on the open market less than 20% of the activities concerned by the co-operation. unforeseen events or circumstances necessitate immediate action and where the time limits for the open, restricted, or competitive dialogue procedures cannot be complied with for reasons that are not attributable to the contracting authority.
