In plain English
YPO (a public sector buying organisation) is looking for ground maintenance companies to join a Dynamic Purchasing System, essentially a pre-approved supplier list. Public sector organisations across the UK can then call off these services as needed. This is a huge contract worth up to £500 million across all suppliers combined, running until February 2029.
What the buyer wants
• Provide grounds maintenance services (grass cutting, hedge trimming, landscaping upkeep, etc.) to public sector organisations • Be available on a Dynamic Purchasing System where councils, NHS trusts, and other public bodies can request quotes and book work • Meet performance targets (KPIs) that will be reviewed annually
Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
The estimated contract value of £100-500 million combined means this is a national framework. You'll be competing with large national contractors, and the bidding process is complex and expensive; most small local ground maintenance firms won't have the resources, insurances, or track record on large public contracts to win.
How to bid
This is a Dynamic Purchasing System: an open list of approved suppliers. You can apply to join at any time while it runs, and once accepted you can bid for the individual contracts the buyer runs through it.
