Description

Shaftesbury Town Council (STC) is located in the north of the county of Dorset.
The Council looks after over 37 acres (15 hectares) of parks and green spaces across the town, from recreation areas and woods, to play areas, verges and roundabouts. Managing and looking after these spaces to the high standards is set by Shaftesbury Town Council. The grounds operatives are seen as the public face of the Council.
STC continues to plan how it better manages open spaces in Shaftesbury, focusing on the resident and visitor experience equally balancing the need to conserve and enhance the landscape value and biodiversity objectives.
Tenderers should be aware that, particularly in view of the financial pressures currently being faced by Central and Local Government, the Town Council places considerable importance on the financial aspects of this Contract and seeks best value for money.
