Grounds Maintenance Services Procurement
Railway Housing Association (RHA) owns 1,620 rented homes mainly located adjacent to the historical GNER railway network around Darlington, Doncaster, Durham, East Riding, Hull, Leeds, Newcastle, and York. In addition, it also manages 73 leasehold properties for older people and has a sheltered housing scheme in Hereford.
Of the 1,693 homes under RHA's stewardship, more than 1600 require grounds maintenance. This comprises communal grounds, some individual front gardens and in a few cases, even the rear gardens of individual homes.
Pursuant to the expiry of the current contract, RHA now wish to engage with the market to identify and contract with the best qualified available Ground Maintenance provider(s).
Due to the geographically dispersed nature of RHA's homes, the significant volume of grounds that require maintaining and RHA's commitment to make all opportunities accessible to SME's, the decision has been taken to split this contract into multiple lots.
Respondents are welcome to submit proposals for any combination of lots and there is no limit on the number of lots that any single Respondent can win.
