Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process, titled "EDC Landscaping," was spearheaded by Kent County Council for services in the agricultural, forestry, horticultural, aquacultural, and apicultural sectors. This selective procurement was conducted through a call-off from a framework agreement, targeting service delivery in the South East region of the United Kingdom. The tender had a value of £250,000 and was in the award stage as of 22nd June 2026. The contract period is scheduled from 1st July 2026 to 31st May 2030, following the tender closing date on 11th May 2026.
