Services

II.1.4) Short description

The opportunity is to deliver estate services – grounds maintenance and arboriculture services. Moat is seeking to enter into long-term partnering agreements with suitably qualified and experienced organisations to deliver high quality, customer-focussed and cost-effective services.

Service delivery is anticipated to commence on Monday, 8th April 2024 for an initial period of 5 years to Sunday, 8th April 2029. Subject to satisfactory performance, Moat will have the option to extend for additional periods of up to five further years, unless the Contract ends or is terminated in accordance with the Conditions of Contract. The total maximum contract term, including possible extensions, is ten (10) years.

Our corporate strategy includes commitments to the implementation of local offers to enable us to tailor our services for local needs, designed by local people. In support of this, we have divided our requirements across our geographical areas and are tendering on the basis of multiple lots for each service.

Moat intends to award four contracts for the provision of grounds maintenance services and three contracts for the provision of arboriculture services.

Bidders may bid for multiple lots, but it is not anticipated that multiple contracts will be awarded to a single Bidder for each service type. For example, this means that a Bidder may be awarded a contract for grounds maintenance services in one geographical area plus one further contract for arboriculture services in the same (or a different) geographical area.
