If you manage multiple sites, your grounds maintenance reports should do more than confirm a visit took place. They should provide the information you need to identify risks, prioritise work and maintain consistent standards across your estate.

Tendering a grounds maintenance contract is about far more than comparing prices. The right contractor will help you create a safe, attractive and well-maintained environment while reducing risk, improving sustainability and protecting your organisation’s reputation.

A well-written tender ensures suppliers understand your expectations from the outset and allows you to compare proposals on a like-for-like basis.

Before you publish your next tender, here are 12 important questions to ask.

But how do you know the work has been completed to the expected standard, especially if you’re responsible for multiple sites or rarely visit them in person?

That’s where a comprehensive grounds maintenance report becomes invaluable.
