Horticultural services

Tender description

http://www.advantageswtenders.co.uk/ This contract notice is to extend the duration of this DPS from 5 years to 10 years. Companies on the DPS do not need to re-apply. This DPS was originally advertised in 2016/S 226-411713. It includes but is not limited to the undertaking of regular programmed cyclical visits and unplanned remedial visits to various locations to carry out grounds maintenance and horticultural activities including but not limited to grass cutting, strimming, picking up service, shrub/rosebed maintenance, hedge trimming and maintenance, light tree maintenance and maintenance of hard landscaping areas. The maximum spend on this DPS is GBP 25 000 000 but please note that it is highly unlikely that this spend level will be reached as some of our members have existing arrangements in place, some undertake work in-house and there is no obligation on them to access this DPS for their requirements. The DPS continues to be divided into two categories, one for contracts of < GBP 50 000 and one for contracts > GBP 50 000. The > GBP 50 000 category will be further subdivided in accordance with the financial and economic standing requirements detailed in our standard questionnaire. In essence companies in this category will be able to bid for contracts whose annual value is lower than 50 % of the company's annual turnover. We have done it this way to maximise the opportunity for companies, rather than creating a multiplicity of value related categories.
