Published requirement description

Westward is looking to appoint contractors to provide high quality and cost-effective grounds maintenance services. This should contribute to high levels of customer satisfaction, which will enhance the reputation of Westward Housing Group through the maintenance and improvement of its horticultural features on its estates.
