Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Salford City Council procured works for Oakwood Play Area through its landscaping and associated services requirement. The procurement was a further competition under the Salford Technical and Highways Works Framework, Lot 6. The delivery location is in Salford; the published address information identifies the area by postcode M27 5AW.

The procurement is complete and Horticon was selected for the contract. The award was made on 15 September 2026, for £86,782.14. The contract period runs from 5 October to 30 October 2026. The council ran a further competition under an existing framework, with submissions due by 7 August 2026. The procurement was classified as works and covered landscaping and associated services. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable to participate. No evaluation criteria are recorded in the available process details.

This award demonstrates Salford City Council’s demand for landscaping and associated works at a play area, procured through a further competition under its Technical and Highways Works Framework. Horticon, an SME, was selected, showing that a smaller supplier can deliver a contract of this nature and scale. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need relevant landscaping and associated works capability and, to compete through the same route, access to the framework’s Lot 6. Suppliers whose work is limited to unrelated services would not be well matched to this requirement.
