## Summary

Comhairle nan Eilean Siar, a regional authority located in Stornoway, has initiated a procurement process for the Grounds Maintenance 2026-29 project. This process is currently in the planning stage, as indicated by the Prior Information Notice (PIN) released on 4th September 2025. This procurement falls under the services category, specifically focusing on grounds maintenance, with a total estimated budget of £900,000. The project spans the regions of Lewis, Harris, Uist, and Barra in UKM64, with the anticipated publication of further notices on 17th October 2025. The procurement approach includes gathering supplier feedback to determine the lotting strategy for the upcoming tender, covering multiple lots corresponding to each region.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in grounds maintenance and related services. Companies interested in expanding their operations within the regional local government sector or those with expertise in service contracts can find substantial growth potential through participation. The contract's division into regional lots allows smaller firms to bid on specific areas, making it well-suited for local businesses familiar with the geographic and environmental conditions of the Western Isles. The procurement process aligns with the General Procurement Agreement (GPA) procedures, providing a transparent and structured opportunity for businesses to engage with a leading Scottish local authority.
