Following a competitive open tender process, Fusion21 has appointed 22 suppliers to its \u00a385 million UK-wide Grounds Maintenance Framework, providing public sector members with a fast route to market for grounds maintenance, landscaping and outdoor space services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The specialist companies have secured a place on the fourth iteration of the framework, with 72% being SMEs. This is also the first Fusion21 framework awarded under the Procurement Act 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Designed to support Fusion21\u2019s public sector members in maintaining and improving a diverse range of outdoor spaces, the framework provides regional and national coverage, and is available to members, including housing providers, local authorities, education, blue light and the NHS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Services span routine and seasonal maintenance, as well as hard and soft landscaping, tree works, fencing, and hedge and shrub maintenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peter Francis, Group Executive Director (Operations) at Fusion21, said: \u201cOur renewed Grounds Maintenance Framework gives members a fast, simple and compliant way to access trusted suppliers for grounds maintenance and landscaping services. With regional and national coverage, it supports everything from local requirements to large-scale, multi-site portfolios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cComplementing our Workplace and Facilities Management Framework, this framework offers flexible call-off options while delivering social value and environmental improvements that have a visible impact on communities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the lifetime of the framework, Fusion21 aims to support the development of a community forest planting trees in every area where the framework is active, helping to create more sustainable communities, reduce carbon emissions and improve wellbeing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
