Grounds Maintenance - Free Public Access Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, London,

The Landscape Group is responsible for the management and maintenance of the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park which spans 200ha in Stratford, East London and specifically the management of Horticulture, Cleansing and Waste Management, Waterways, Play and Irrigation. Managing a Park on this scale with such a diverse range of open spaces, facilities, events and social responsibility commitments is no mean feat. Following a competitive procurement process, BALI member The Landscape Group was selected as grounds maintenance partner in early 2012 in alliance with Cofely Workplace as facilities management partner delivering the comprehensive estates and facilities management contract. The maintenance contracts will span a decade after the Park’s official opening in April 2014, with potential extension to 2029. The Landscape Group team moved onto site in September 2012 to help monitor the transformation works and to begin maintenance as areas were completed. As a contracting partner of the London Legacy Development Corporation, The Landscape Group has committed to the values and objectives of the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. These values have been translated into a number of key themes including sustainability, accessibility, biodiversity, local growth, equality and inclusion.
