The Green Flag Award Scheme (the Scheme) is both a national and international benchmark for quality public green spaces such as parks and community gardens - considered by the green space sector as the annual MOT for green space. It is highly regarded and credited with being a cost-effective way to raise the quality of urban green space and local people's engagement with it. The main deliverables of the Scheme are: - To ensure the continued successful operation of, and confidence in, the Scheme as a benchmark for quality public green spaces, raising the standards of management and maintenance of publicly accessible green spaces both in England and around the world, and supporting the Government commitment that every household in England should be within 15 minutes' walk of green or blue space. - To increase participation in the Scheme, whilst ensuring the quality of the Scheme is maintained; - To innovate delivery of the Scheme thereby ensuring self-sufficiency and sustainability; - To ensure green spaces are accessible to people of all abilities, safe and encouraging of community participation; - To increase and support biodiversity within green spaces; - To pursue the ambition of the Scheme to see the majority of green spaces in England become accredited.

The purpose of this PTME is to: i) help define the requirement; ii) help provide a better understanding of the feasibility of the requirement; iii) understand the best procurement and service delivery approach; iv) understand the capacity of the market to deliver and possible risks involved; and v) provide the market with an opportunity to ask questions, raise queries and identify any issues to be addressed at an early stage.
