Grounds Maintenance Equipment - Repairs and Maintenance

Gentoo Group · Local or regional public body

In brief

Gentoo Group has announced plans to buy 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 £120,000 including VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 2 years, up to 4 years with extensions, starting 1 November 2026.

The buyer says it is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses.

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 11 bids per contract for this buyer (from 14 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 £120,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

What the notice says

Gentoo Group is seeking to engage with the market in advance of a potential procurement exercise for the repair and maintenance of grounds maintenance equipment. We currently operate a varied fleet of equipment that requires ongoing servicing, repairs and maintenance to ensure operational continuity. Due to the specialist nature of the equipment and the limited number of approved service providers within the local/regional market, we are undertaking this pre-market engagement to: - Understand market capacity and capability - Identify suitably accredited service providers - Inform the development of our procurement approach - Encourage supplier interest in future tender opportunities This engagement is for information gathering only and does not form part of any formal procurement process.

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.
