In plain English
NHS Dumfries & Galloway wants a contractor to maintain the grounds of its estate across Dumfries and Galloway, covering open spaces, pathways, shrub beds and wooded areas. The work is split into five geographic lots with a total estimated value of £300,000.
What the buyer wants
• Carry out grounds maintenance on NHS estate open spaces, pathways, common grounds, shrub beds and wooded areas • Provide grass cutting, pruning, hedgerow maintenance, and flowerbed and border care • Provide responsive tree works and leaf clearance at the sites in the lot or lots you bid for
Lots
- Nithsdale
- Dumfries & Galloway Royal Infirmary
- Annan & Eskdale
- Stewartry
- Wigtown
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: The notice does not list any specific qualifications, certifications or insurance, but it asks for an "experienced service provider" without defining what experience is needed, and it does not give a value for each lot, so a small firm may struggle to show it can deliver estate-wide work across a large area.
Always check the tender documents.
