Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Salford City Council procured landscaping and associated works to improve the Patting Close play area, including groundworks for a children’s play area. The work is in the M27 5AW postcode area of Salford. The requirement was managed by the council and placed through its technical and highways works framework, using the landscaping and associated services lot. This is a physical works contract focused on a specific local play area rather than a general grounds-maintenance service.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Horticon on 15 September 2026. It was a selective further competition called off from a framework agreement. The contract award is valued at £130,288.92, against an estimated procurement value of £132,288.92. The contract period runs from 2 November to 4 December 2026. The requirement was treated as a single package, with no lots identified. The procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The available details establish the framework route and landscaping scope, but do not describe the evaluation criteria used to select the supplier.

This award shows that Salford City Council buys defined, site-specific play-area landscaping through a further competition under its technical and highways works framework. Horticon, an SME, was selected, demonstrating that a smaller specialist supplier can deliver this kind of works package. Businesses competing for a comparable requirement from this buyer would need credible landscaping and associated works capability, including the practical ability to carry out children’s play-area groundworks at a named local site. Familiarity with framework call-offs and the capacity to deliver a focused project within a short programme would also be relevant. The opportunity is evidence of demand for contractors able to combine landscaping with play-area construction work, rather than providers offering unrelated grounds maintenance alone.
