Summary of the contracting process

Defra Group Commercial procured landscaping work for the Stallingborough 3 site, identified in the tender as LNA – AOMR Lot 3. The requirement falls within landscaping works, covering activity at the delivery location in the West Midlands and the address associated with the procurement in Birmingham. The named requirement is focused on a specific site rather than a general landscaping service. The buying organisation is Defra Group Commercial, the commercial function serving the Defra Group. The selected supplier, River Stewardship Company, is based at Newhall Road Industrial Estate in Sheffield. The procurement was presented as a landscaping requirement, so relevant businesses are those able to deliver site-based external works for a public-sector client.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded on 7 July 2026 to River Stewardship Company. The awarded value is £67,732.97. The contract period runs from 8 July 2026 to 30 November 2026. Defra Group Commercial used a selective procedure, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 7 July 2026 at 5pm. The procurement was assessed as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprise organisations. This was a single landscaping requirement described as LNA – AOMR Lot 3 – Stallingborough 3 – Landscaping. The award is active and the tender status is complete.

Although this contract has already been awarded, it provides useful evidence of Defra Group Commercial’s demand for defined, site-based landscaping works delivered through a framework call-off. Competitors preparing for comparable requirements from this buyer would need a route into the relevant framework and the operational capacity to mobilise and complete landscaping work at a named site. The stated unsuitability for SMEs and VCSEs indicates that future competitors should be prepared to demonstrate scale, resources and established delivery arrangements rather than relying solely on small-business status. River Stewardship Company’s selection also shows that a supplier operating across landscaping and environmental or stewardship-related work can be relevant to this type of requirement.
