The industry category for this tender falls under "Housing and community amenities". The contract is intended to be divided into multiple lots, each encompassing services such as grass cutting, garden maintenance, tree surveys, and litter picking. This procurement is in the planning stage, with key operations managed by regional area managers. The procurement officially commenced on 27th August 2025, and interested parties can anticipate future notices, with the next update expected on 1st October 2025. Locations of the services include regions from the South Highlands to the City of Glasgow, with a total value estimate of £950,000. The procurement follows a competitive tendering process whilst adhering to a service framework designed to foster continuous improvement. This procurement presents a substantial opportunity for businesses involved in landscaping and horticulture services to expand their operations, particularly within the Scottish regions. As the contract allows for bidding on multiple lots, yet limits to a maximum of three lots per bidder, a range of businesses from small to medium-sized enterprises with capabilities in grounds maintenance and landscape management could find this tender particularly appealing. Companies demonstrating resource adequacy can apply for more extensive sections if they provide evidence of their operational capacity. Engaging with this contract could enhance business growth, foster partnerships, and stimulate innovation in service delivery, providing a robust growth path for organizations with strategic ambitions in the public service sector. ## Notice Hanover (Scotland) are proposing a renewed Grounds Maintenance contract for all of their homes across Scotland.
