## Description
Charlbury Town Council invites tenders for a three-year contract (1 April 2026 - 31 March 2029) for the grass cutting of highway verges, recreation areas, Mill Field, and the town cemetery within Charlbury, Oxfordshire.
Contractors may tender for:
• Nine Acres Recreation Ground (including headlands) separately;
• All other sites excluding Nine Acres; or

The football pitches at Nine Acres are excluded from this contract, as they are maintained separately by Charlbury Football Club.
The contract will involve regular mowing, strimming and vegetation control across multiple areas of the town, with sensitivity to biodiversity and wildflower areas as detailed in the specification.
Contractors must take particular care when strimming around fence posts, gate posts, play equipment supports, and other stakes to avoid damage.
Tenders will be evaluated on price and value for money (40%) and quality factors (60%), including relevant experience and references, environmental management and awareness of biodiversity, ability to deliver to the required specification and timescales, and compliance with insurance and health and safety requirements.
Tender documents are available from the Town Clerk (clerk@charlbury-tc.gov.uk) and must be returned by 12 midday on 31 December 2025.
The contract will commence on 1 April 2026.
