In plain English
Aspire Academy Trust, an education group, wants a contractor to look after the grounds at its schools, including grass cutting and general outdoor upkeep. The work is split into two regional lots, Atlantic (North) and Peninsular (South), with an estimated total value of £1,250,000, and schools will move onto the contract as their current arrangements end.
What the buyer wants
• Deliver grounds maintenance to horticultural best practice, following the Service Specification and the wider tender documents (Document 2 sets out the full requirements). • Keep service delivery consistent across all sites within the lot being bid for. • Provide appropriately qualified and experienced horticultural staff to carry out the work.
Lots
- Lot 1 - Atlantic (N)
- Lot 2 - Peninsular (S) (1)
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: The notice sets no explicit financial, insurance or qualification thresholds, but the £1.25 million total value, the need for qualified horticultural staff and the requirement for consistent delivery across multiple school sites would likely rule out very small firms, though bidding for a single lot may reduce that barrier.
Always check the tender documents.
