Description

Tender Notice for Cadw's Grounds Maintenance Services ref C305/2024/2025. Please see tender docs on etenderwales bravosolution for more information and how to respond electronically via etenderwales project_60158 itt_119241. Cadw has a statutory duty to both maintain and conserve the monuments in its care and provide safe access to the public where possible. The conservation of the historic monuments themselves is undertaken by Cadw’s in-house heritage craft masons and joiners (Cadwraeth) and by contracting specialist historic conservation specialists where in-house specialists are unavailable. Grounds Maintenance is one of the services that Cadw must procure externally. Cadw will procure grounds maintenance (GM) services directly on a multi-region basis to cover all Wales, this to mirror the Cadwraeth regions already in operation. The regions will cover north east Wales, north west Wales, Ynys Mon, south east Wales, south central Wales and south west Wales (the exact boundaries can be found in the documentation noted above). The Grounds Maintenance Service will include (but is not exhaustive) work areas covering Soft Landscaping, Grass, Planted Areas, Hedges, Trees, Leaf Clearance, Reens, Ponds, Ditches and SWALES, Fertilisers, Invasive Species, Hard Landscaping, Boundary Walls, Gravel Borders, Weed Control
