qualified and experienced organisations to deliver high quality, customer-focussed and cost effective services.\r
Service delivery is anticipated to commence on Monday, 8th April 2024 for an initial period\r

option to extend for additional periods of up to five further years, unless the Contract ends or\r

be awarded a contract for grounds maintenance services in one geographical area plus one\r
further contract for arboriculture services in the same (or a different) geographical area.
