What is being bought

Cranbrook Town Council is responsible for, among other elements, the management and maintenance of public open spaces across the town, including a 35-hectare Country Park and nature reserve. The Council is inviting tenders for the provision of grounds maintenance across the Country Park, public open spaces, and designated green areas. The successful contractor will be responsible for delivering a high-quality, environmentally sensitive maintenance service in accordance with the specification published with this opportunity across areas of public open space (POS) including the Country Park, play areas, green corridors, and other designated locations. The Council awards a separate contract for the maintenance of grass cutting, weed control, scrub and shrub maintenance as well as path maintenance. Meadow Grassland, to be cut, bailed, and removed within the Country Park, will also be managed under a separate contract unless agreed otherwise by Cranbrook Town Council.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 77. The category anchor is Tree pruning and hedge trimming (77340000); 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

“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.
