Hyde Grounds Maintenance Services Framework Tender

Hyde is creating a new framework to secure the provision of grounds maintenance services in four geographic regions / lot areas: Lot 1 - London, Lot 2 - Kent, Lot 3 - South and Lot 4 - North (East Anglia).

Call Off Contracts will be offered to the 1st ranked bidders of each lot for a 3 year period.

The Framework Agreement will last for a period of four (4) years and will allow: • use by other Public Sector bodies (Authorised Users) to appoint the successful suppliers, the framework will be managed and advertised by National Framework Partnership (NFP, see below); • direct call-off from the Framework if there are specific advantages or requirements for this; and • mini-tenders - Where Hyde / Authorised User is not able to determine which supplier will provide it with the most economically advantageous offer for the proposed call-off contract by reference to the Contractors' Pricing Submissions and Quality Submissions for the Framework Agreement (or would like to promote competition).

Any contracting Authority, as defined in Regulation 2 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, may utilise our frameworks.
