Corsham Town Council Grounds Maintenance Contract 2024-2029

Corsham Town Council is seeking to appoint a contractor to carry out grounds maintenance services (principally mowing and strimming) at 32 sites throughout the parish.

The details of the work are contained in the attached contract as well as details of how to submit a tender (section 7, page 5).

Prospective tenderers are expected to provide the following:

A completed Bill of Quantities form (page 34 on the attached contract).

A completed Form of Tender (page 35).

A completed Certificate that the tender is bona fide (page 36).

A completed Analysis of Resources form (page 37).
