Supporting Accent's ambitions to nurture, continuously improve and excel its customer service experience. Accent is conducting an early market engagement opportunity with a view to discuss and develop its service standard specification for Grounds Maintenance Services with established Grounds Maintenance Contractors. For the avoidance of doubt we will only consider Established Contactors and who are willing to establish a local base of operations no more than 20 miles from all sites within the lot being bid for. This is due to inclement weather as the contract includes gritting of Accent owned identified communal highways/roads, car parks and pathways.

Accent intends to procure 2 lots, please note to mitigate against contractor failure it is the intention Contractors may only win a maximum of one (1) individual Lot.

For convenience each lot has a map pin noting the scheme locations.

Accent intends to hold two Contractor engagement days on the 28th November and 29th November 2019 this will be allocated on a first come first served basis. Once all slots have been allocated the engagement exercise will be deemed to have ended.

Please do not request a place on a Contractor engagement day unless you can evidence you are an established Grounds Maintenance Contractor. Accent's decision on eligibility to attend a Contractor Engagement day is final.

Accent reserves the right to change the location venue of the Contractor engagement day however, this will be restricted to the Bradford District area. Notification of such changes will be sent via the messaging portal of DueNorth Proactis.
