Landscaping Maintenance Services in Karlsruhe (2026-2029)

The City of Karlsruhe is seeking suppliers for landscaping maintenance services for a total of 1,000 hectares of green spaces. Approximately 500 hectares will be contracted out to external companies as part of the city's maintenance catalog. The maintenance work is divided into 26 different lots, each with varying amounts of work and categories. Current contracts for these services will expire at the end of 2025, prompting a new tender for the years 2026-2029. Notably, there will be a division into smaller and larger lots, as well as two separate lots for secured work. The maintenance tasks include: - Mowing of lawn areas (73 hectares) - Mowing of meadow areas (199 hectares) - Weeding and hoeing of shrub and perennial areas (45 hectares) - Clearing work (20 hectares) - Leaf collection (90 hectares) - Mowing of meadow areas with security measures (38.5 hectares) - Clearing work with security measures (4.9 hectares) - Leaf collection with security measures (2.1 hectares) The city is divided into five maintenance districts, with each lot corresponding to a district. These districts will manage the maintenance services and serve as the point of contact for the maintenance companies throughout the contract duration. Companies will receive updated maintenance plans and other documents at the beginning of each year in both paper and digital formats. The amount of maintenance work may change annually due to new construction areas, construction sites, or reassignments to different maintenance categories. Therefore, at the start of each maintenance season, the quantities will be recalculated based on current needs. Bidders can submit offers for more lots than they have capacity for, but they must declare how many lots they can support with personnel and machinery for the 2026-2029 maintenance catalog.
