- Description
-
The re-tendered Grounds Maintenance Services Framework allows buyers to engage with competent, capable, and committed suppliers for the delivery of their Grounds Maintenance Services contract. All suppliers on the framework have confirmed they can either self-deliver or sub-contract the following core grounds maintenance services:
· Application of pesticides
· Grass cutting
· Edging to grass areas
· Fertilising
· Grass seeding / overseeding
· Turf Laying
· Hard surface maintenance
· Hedge maintenance
· Leaf clearance
· Mulching
· Scarifying
· Shrub bed maintenance
· Snow clearance
· Spiking / hollow tining
· Top dressing
· Tree maintenance
· Sports area maintenance
· Gutter clearance
· Power washing
· Control of invasive weed species
To create efficiencies and synergies in terms of time, quality and cost Buyers calling off from this framework should look to enter into a contract with a single supplier capable of delivering their entire grounds maintenance services under one contract.
However, all suppliers have confirmed they are reactive and can service ad-hoc / one-off requests for services such as tree surveys, leaf clearance, snow removal, sports pitch marking etc.
