Abstract/Contents:"This paper considers the possible privatization of local authority landscape and environment maintenance, from the point of view of private contractors and the British Association of Landscape Industries. It refutes various fallacies about the private sector, and stresses the need for proper documentation to ensure fair tendering and value for money on behalf of the client. Some guidance is given on how to get the best from a contractor, including good supervision, suggestions on cash flow requirements, performance bonding, payments `up front', and realistic packaging of work. Finally, brief comment is made on a range of topics, including school facilities, estate maintenance and winter work, durability of designs for future use and aftercare, and inner city dereliction."
