Greenspaces Horticulture Framework

South Holland District Council · Local authority

In brief

South Holland District Council has announced plans to buy grounds maintenance and construction work. This is an early notice: there is nothing to bid on yet, but it tells you a tender may follow.

It is a framework worth up to £250,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 4 years, starting 1 April 2027.

Built from the notice's own fields. Always check the official notice before you bid.

Can I win this?

Competition

Usually high: a median of 8 bids per contract for grounds maintenance contracts in this region (from 70 awards in the last 12 months).

Framework

Winning puts you on a list of suppliers the buyer can call on; it does not guarantee work. The £250,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

What the notice says

Through this Pre-Market Engagement exercise, we are seeking suppliers with demonstrable expertise in horticulture, soft and hard landscaping, and/or environmental stewardship to support a wide-ranging planting programme. This includes the provision of resilient, high-quality plant species, specialist materials, and advice aligned with best practice in soil health, biodiversity enhancement, and sustainable landscape management. As a Partnership committed to reducing carbon impact, we are particularly keen to engage with suppliers who can evidence strong environmental credentials, sustainable sourcing, and low-impact operational approaches.

How to bid

  1. Read the full notice on Find a Tender, including any tender documents it links to.
  2. Register your organisation on the Central Digital Platform (through Find a Tender) if you have not already. Suppliers need to be registered to take part in procurements under the Procurement Act 2023.
  3. Follow the submission instructions in the notice; it does not name an e-tendering portal.
