Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
The contract value is approximately £2.2 million, which suggests this is a large multi-area service: most sole traders and very small landscaping businesses will struggle to bid competitively unless they partner with others or bid for just one lot. Ongo Homes will likely require proven experience on similar housing association or large estate contracts, which many independent gardeners lack.
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.
