What is being bought

Published requirement description

MHCLG require a Supplier to deliver and manage the Green Flag Award Scheme ('the Scheme') on a concessionary contract basis.

The Scheme is both a national and international benchmark for quality public green spaces such as parks and community gardens - considered by the green space sector as the annual MOT for green space. It is highly regarded and credited with being a cost-effective way to raise the quality of urban green space and local people's engagement with it.

The concessionary value (estimated revenue) of this Contract is £7,378,078 over the initial 5 year period, however MHCLG make no guarantee as to level of revenue available.

MHCLG also reserve the right to extend the term of the Contract by a further 5 years, with the concessionary value of the extension period expected to be commensurate to the initial period. (i.e. total value over 10 years estimated at c£14M)
