Grounds Maintenance, Specialist Countryside & Arboricultural Works

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 £5,000,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 4 years, up to 5 years with extensions, starting 1 January 2027.

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

Can I win this?

Competition

Usually high: a median of 8 bids per contract for this buyer (from 45 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 £5,000,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

What the notice says

Carmarthenshire County Council wishes to appoint contractors to provide a wide range of grounds maintenance, specialist countryside and Arboricultural works across the county.
