## Summary

The procurement process is being conducted by Stirling Council for a contract titled "Cutting of Verges, Visibility Splays and other areas" under the industry category of "General public services" (COFOG). This project entails grass cutting within the Stirling area, targeting verges alongside public roads and other specific locations, as well as additional services such as hedge cutting, roadside vegetation cutting, meadow and wildflower area maintenance, and litter picking. The procurement was carried out using an open procedure, and the contract award stage is now complete. The successful bidder, William Owen and Son, has been awarded the contract, valued at £304,000, starting from 20th August 2024. Key locations for the services are detailed within the Stirling region (UKM77).

This tender represents a significant opportunity for companies in landscaping, grounds maintenance, and related service industries to grow their business through public sector work. Given that the contract involves a diverse range of maintenance activities, businesses specialising in grass cutting, hedge trimming, and rubbish collection would be well-suited to compete. The continued upkeep of public spaces ensures ongoing work and potential extensions, providing stable revenue streams particularly for SMEs like William Owen and Son. Overall, this public procurement not only supports local employment but also fosters partnerships between the council and competent service providers.
