Fusion21 has announced the renewal of its national Grounds Maintenance Framework, worth up to \u00a385 million over four years, and is now inviting bids from interested suppliers providing regional or national coverage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The national procurement specialist is seeking competent firms operating in the public sector, including SMEs, to support its members in delivering grounds maintenance services across outdoor spaces of any scale, from green spaces and communal areas to external sports surfaces and play areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Offered as a single lot and now in its fourth iteration, the framework is suitable for all Fusion21 members, including housing providers, local authorities, education, blue light and the NHS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From routine upkeep to seasonal tasks, it covers hard and soft landscaping services, such as arboricultural work, hedges and shrubs, cleaning and waste management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peter Francis, Group Executive Director (Operations) at Fusion21, said: \u201cSet to launch in June 2026, our renewed Grounds Maintenance Framework makes it easier for members to maintain and improve outdoor spaces while delivering social value you can see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe framework is fully compliant with the Procurement Act 2023, and members accessing this offer will benefit from value for money and a fast route to market with flexible call-off options \u2013 including the ability to direct award.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
