Grounds Maintenance Services & Tree Works

Guinness require grounds maintenance services and tree works services across our estates. We are proposing to establish a framework to call off future requirements. The core, scheduled elements of the contract are as follows:

i Management of grassed areas including mowing and strimming ii Maintenance of shrub beds including pruning. iii Hedge-cutting. iv Weed control v Leaf collection and removal vi Maintenance of ditch-side vegetation, culverts. vii Bin emptying and litter-picking on selected schemes viii Maintenance of hard standings ix Site cleansing on other sites (optional extra requirement. x Planned preventative maintenance of trees

A procurement strategy is currently being formulated with a view to the procurement of this framework during 2023.This notice is a Prior Information Notice of a future contract opportunity. This is not a call for competition, or a request for you to express interest in bidding for work.

Organisations are invited to consider completing and returning a market testing questionnaire linked with this Notice. Whether or not an organisation chooses to return a questionnaire will have no relevance or bearing on assessment of any future application to participate in a subsequent procurement process. Returning a questionnaire will not be deemed by Guinness as a standing expression of interest for any future contract opportunity.

Organisations should continue to monitor the UK e-notification service Find a Tender Service for notices and the opportunity to submit an expression interest or tender for a notified contract opportunity.
