Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Kirklees Council procured landscaping and environmental improvement works for the Southway and Foxroyd play areas. The requirement covers works associated with improving play-area environments, classified as landscaping work. Delivery is in Yorkshire and the Humber, with the buying organisation based in Huddersfield, England. The procurement was made through the council’s further competition under the KMCEGS-174 Framework for Landscaping Works, specifically its Environmental Improvement Works lot. It is a works contract rather than a supply or consultancy opportunity. The requirement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to landscaping contractors and environmental improvement specialists with the workforce and equipment to deliver public-realm works for a local authority.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Kirklees Council used a selective further competition, calling off from the KMCEGS-174 framework agreement. Bids closed on 29 May 2026 at 1pm. The contract was awarded to J Paxman Landscapes Limited on 17 July 2026 for £188,134.63 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 27 July 2026 to 7 December 2026. The published requirement was evaluated through the framework further-competition route, with the award relating to the Southway and Foxroyd Play Areas landscaping works. The award is active, and the selected supplier is identified as a small or medium-sized enterprise.

Although this contract has already been awarded, it provides a clear benchmark for businesses pursuing comparable Kirklees Council requirements in future. Relevant competitors would need practical landscaping and environmental improvement capability, including the capacity to work on public play-area or wider public-realm settings. Experience of delivering works for a local authority would help demonstrate understanding of public-sector requirements, site management and completion standards, although the published procurement does not identify specific accreditations or technical qualifications. The opportunity also shows that Kirklees Council uses a framework-based further competition for this type of work. Businesses seeking similar work should therefore consider whether they can access the relevant framework route and compete as an SME where appropriate.
