The Council are seeking to appoint a Supplier to provide open space and verge maintenance for all open spaces and verges within the district of Wychavon. The main objective of the contract is to provide a high quality, efficient and effective service for with a strong emphasis on value for money throughout the life of the contract. An overview of the service to be provided is shown below:

— Local Depot/s — The contractor shall provide a base site/s in or very close to the district of Wychavon from which to run this contract. There is a need to operate an environmentally sound practice. The authority will need to approve the location of the site/s and facilities before the start of the contract.

— Green waste composting — The Contractor is to recycle the green waste from this contract. A certain amount of good quality compost made from the green waste will be required for reuse on the contract. It will be the Contractors responsibility to find uses/customers/ functions for the remainder of the recycled green waste. All associated costs for Green waste recycling are to be included as part of the Contractors costs in running the contract.

— General Waste — All non-compostable waste is to be taken to any approved disposal facility. All costs associated are to be included in the rates specified in the Bills of Quantities.

— Supply of plants — The Contractor will not usually be expected to supply any trees, shrubs, bulbs or other plants for the contract. If these are required they will be paid for on an individual basis.

— Materials — The Contractor will supply all materials needed to carry out the work of the contract such as turf, grass seed, tree irrigation pipes, rabbit guards, fertiliser and herbicides. The cost of these is to be included in rates within the Bills of Quantities. The only materials that the client will supply and should therefore not be included within the Bills of Quantities rates are trees, shrubs, herbaceous plants and bulbs.

Scope of the work:
