Corsham Town Council Grounds Maintenance Contract 2024-2029

Corsham Town Council is seeking to appoint a contractor to carry out grounds maintenance services (principally mowing and strimming) at 32 sites throughout the parish. Whilst the majority of the work involves the regular mulch-mowing of amenity areas, the Town Council plans to manage a substantial portion of its open spaces (often at the periphery of sites) as wildlife/wildflower areas and is keen to work with a contractor who is able to carry out two cuts annually (early spring and a late hay cut) and collect arisings.

The details of the work are contained in the attached contract as well as details of how to submit a tender (section 7, page 5).

Prospective tenderers are expected to provide the following: A completed Bill of Quantities form (page 34 on the attached contract). A completed Form of Tender (page 35). A completed Certificate that the tender is bona fide (page 36). A completed Analysis of Resources form (page 37). A copy of the company's environmental policy. Details of vehicles and machinery to be used. 2 references from customers. A copy of the company's health & safety policy. A copy of the company's certificate of insurance for at least £10 million. A copy of the company's quality assurance policy. A copy of the company's equal opportunity policy.

Tenders are to be sent by post or delivered by hand in an envelope clearly labelled "Tender - Grounds Maintenance Contract", addressed to: David Martin - Chief Executive Corsham Town Hall High Street Corsham Wiltshire, SN13 0EZ

Alternatively, tenders can be sent via email to dmartin@corsham.gov.uk and mjones@corsham.gov.uk with "Tender - Grounds Maintenance Contract" in the title bar.
