In plain English
Hythe Town Council is looking for a grounds maintenance contractor to look after their parks and public green spaces for 5 years (2027–2032). The work includes grass cutting, weeding, planting, pruning, and general tidying of council-owned sites around town.
What the buyer wants
• Regular grass cutting and edging to maintain neat appearance • Weeding, pruning, and small tree works • Planting and seasonal bedding maintenance • General grounds maintenance tasks as required by the Council • Work must cover all HTC sites except South Road
Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
The contract value is only £32,388 total across a 5-year period (roughly £6,500 per year), which is extremely tight for a dedicated grounds maintenance business. Most contractors will find this uneconomical unless they're very local or can combine it with other nearby work.
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.
