Knowsley Council has opened a long-term Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) to create a pool of approved landscaping contractors who can be invited to quote for ongoing and future works across the borough. The DPS model allows new suppliers to join at any time, making it flexible and accessible for both established firms and smaller local businesses.

This opportunity covers a wide range of landscaping and grounds maintenance services, including grass cutting, planting, tree works, and the delivery of larger public realm or environmental improvement projects.

It’s ideal for organisations with proven experience in landscape maintenance, environmental improvement, or green infrastructure, particularly those based locally or regionally who can respond quickly to works orders. SMEs with relevant experience are actively encouraged to apply, and successful applicants will gain access to a steady flow of opportunities as projects arise through the DPS.

In short, if you’re involved in landscaping or grounds maintenance and want to work regularly with a proactive local authority, this is a great one to get onto.
