Tender: Grounds Maintenance Services for Four Closed Landfill Sites – West Northamptonshire Council

About

West Northamptonshire Council is seeking a supplier for grounds maintenance services at four closed landfill sites across West Northamptonshire, each with above-ground monitoring boreholes, leachate and gas extraction wells and other plant and equipment. Site sizes range from 0.8 to 13 hectares and are predominantly rough grassland bordered by hedges, trees and bramble scrub. Required routine works include strimming around monitoring points and assets, mowing large areas of rough pasture and paths, and strimming leachate treatment compounds and areas of brush/bramble, while ad-hoc examples include repair or replacement of metal and timber fencing and gates, installing timber stiles, laying small areas of hardcore/quarry scalpings, small concrete repairs and manhole re-setting, litter-picking and fly-tip disposal, tree surgery and cutting back woody shrubs and internal perimeter branches, and installing signage. Routine visits are mostly weather dependent and are predicted to be at least twice between late spring and early autumn (excluding Farthinghoe at the Council’s request); recent routine visits have been in May and August to coincide with quarterly environmental monitoring in June and September, but there are no guarantees on the number of visits and call-offs will be made as required. To request the Request for Quotation document, email [email protected]. Clarification questions are welcome up to 12:00 noon on Wednesday 20 May 2026, and responses must be submitted no later than 12:00 on Friday 29 May 2026.
