In plain English
West Bedlington Town Council wants to hire a gardening and landscaping contractor to plant, water and maintain their flower beds and planters across the town. The work includes seasonal planting in spring and autumn, weeding, litter removal, and regular inspections at least twice a month.
What the buyer wants
• Strip out old plants, prepare beds and supply new plants for summer and winter planting schemes • Water plants after planting, remove weeds and litter from beds and surrounding areas, and keep sites clean and tidy after each visit • Visit all flower bed and planter locations at least twice per month during the growing season and report any damage, safety risks, plant failures or maintenance issues to the Council in writing
Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
The contract value is £60,000 with ongoing twice-monthly visits across multiple sites: you will need reliable transport, plant stock, insurance, and enough staff to visit every location reliably. If you are a one-person operation without a vehicle or storage for plants and materials, this will be very difficult to deliver.
How to bid
This is an open tender: any eligible business can respond directly to the buyer by the deadline, with no framework membership needed.
