What is being bought

Kings Worthy Parish Council is seeking to appoint a contractor to deliver grounds maintenance services across a range of Parish Council managed sites totalling approximately 11 acres. The contract will include, but is not limited to, grass cutting, hedge and shrub maintenance, weed control, litter and debris removal associated with grounds maintenance activities, maintenance of sports and recreation areas, and other related grounds maintenance services as specified in the tender documentation. Due to the potential changes to our number of open spaces as part of the Local Government Reorganisation, the initial contract term will be 12 months commencing on 1 October 2026, with the option, at the Council's sole discretion, to extend the contract for a further period of 12 months. Companies wishing to tender must be suitably qualified and experienced with commercial grounds maintenance contracts of this size.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 77. The category anchor is Weed-killing services (77312100); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence
Market: CPV division 771,1815 median · 21.7 average (433 of 1,181 with a bid count)4 average (452 of 1,181 with named award suppliers)1 comparable price pairs

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
