- Deliverables and pricing basis
- Grounds Specification starts from £395, based on site size, number of maintenance areas, complexity and specification detail, for the agreed written maintenance scope, standards, frequencies, responsibilities and pricing instructions. Grounds Procurement starts from £495, based on site size, procurement complexity, number of contractors or tender submissions, tender requirements and support needed. These are separate services; a written quotation before work begins defines the included outputs, exclusions and fee. Any additional work and costs must be agreed before proceeding.
- Visits, optional work and exclusions
- Site surveys, mapping, coordinated bidder visits, bidder questions, extra tender rounds and mobilisation assistance must be expressly scoped; do not assume they are included in a starting price. Ongoing management is a separate service. Complex or regulated procurements may need specialist procurement or legal support; this service does not provide legal sign-off.
- Your responsibilities
- Provide accurate site information, existing documents, budgets, procurement rules and decision dates. Arrange access where agreed, approve the scope and evaluation criteria, and identify an authorised decision-maker. The client retains the final appointment and contract-execution decisions.
- VAT, travel and total cost
- The VAT treatment of the advertised prices and the travel-expense basis have not yet been published. Do not assume VAT or travel is included or excluded. Request a written total, stating applicable VAT and any agreed travel or other expenses, before instructing chargeable work.
- Turnaround and starting work
- No standard turnaround is currently published. Agree availability, required information, visit dates where relevant, and delivery dates in writing before work starts. Submitting a form requests a discussion or review; it does not take payment or confirm a booking.
