Common questions
Grounds and horticultural services procurement, in short
Who buys grounds and horticultural services in the UK public sector?
913 public sector organisations have awarded grounds and horticultural services contracts since 2021. The most active are Forestry Commission (145 contracts), Forestry and Land Scotland (95 contracts), Forestry England (64 contracts).
How much is a typical grounds and horticultural services contract worth?
The median is £158k, across the 2,865 contracts of 3,191 that publish a value. A median rather than an average, because a single framework worth hundreds of millions would otherwise make the typical contract look far larger than it is.
When do grounds and horticultural services contracts come up for renewal?
564 contracts in this category have an end date inside the next 18 months. End dates are published in the original award notice, so they are visible long before any re-tender is advertised, which is usually the point at which the specification is already written.
How do I find new grounds and horticultural services tenders?
Notices are published across Find a Tender, Contracts Finder, Public Contracts Scotland and Sell2Wales, each with its own search. Tender Radar reads all four each weekday morning and scores new notices against your profile, alongside the contracts in this category approaching renewal.
