Grounds Maintenance, Specialist Countryside and Arboricultural Works Framework
Carmarthenshire County Council · Local authority
In brief
Carmarthenshire County 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 £2,500,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.
The contract runs for 3 years, up to 4 years with extensions, starting 1 March 2027.
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 7.5 bids per contract for this buyer (from 40 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 £2,500,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.
