In plain English

Yorkshire Water is looking for contractors to look after the grass, plants, and grounds at hundreds of their water treatment and pumping sites across Yorkshire. They also need winter maintenance like snow clearing and gritting. The work is split into five separate geographic lots plus a specialist lot for harder-to-reach or complex sites.

What the buyer wants

• Provide routine grounds maintenance such as grass cutting, hedge trimming, weed control, and general tidying at assigned sites • Deliver planned (scheduled) and reactive (emergency) winter maintenance including snow clearance, gritting, and frost management • Cover between 246 and 639 sites depending on which lot you bid for, across defined areas of Yorkshire

Lots

Likely requirements

Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.

Most small 1-2 person gardening or landscaping businesses will struggle because this requires the capacity to service hundreds of geographically spread sites simultaneously, maintain emergency response capability during winter, hold substantial insurance, and meet water company security and compliance standards.

How to bid

This is an open tender: any eligible business can respond directly to the buyer by the deadline, with no framework membership needed.
