Summary of the contracting process

North Petherton Town Council is seeking quotations for the replacement of low box hedging with yew or ilex at Heathfield Cemetery in the South West region of the United Kingdom. The project falls under the industry category of horticultural services and has an estimated value of GBP 2,500. Interested parties should be aware that the competitive quotation process is open for submissions until 25 October 2024, with the contract period scheduled to start on 1 November 2024 and end on 30 November 2024. The project involves removing existing hedging, preparing the ground, supplying and planting new hedging, and providing ongoing plant health checks and care instructions for one year post-planting. Additionally, bidders are encouraged to include a separate pricing option for watering the new plants as needed.

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) are especially well-suited to compete for this contract given its scale and scope. By securing this contract, businesses can enhance their portfolios, gain experience with municipal projects, and foster a long-term relationship with a local council, which could lead to further opportunities in the public sector.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Heathfield Cemetery, Old Road, North Petherton Gardens of Rest, Replacement of low hedging

Notice Description

Application is to be made on the specific quotation form which is provided with this notice or can be downloaded from the Town Council's website. The Cemetery has 2 areas for the interment of cremated remains, known as the Garden of Rest / Remembrance, these are currently delineated by box hedging approx. 80cms high. During the past year the box has been affected by box moth with most of the leaves and green shoots being eaten by the caterpillars. The Town Council has decided that the box hedging should be replaced by yew or ilex or a mixture of both. The drawings included with this document give an indication of the approximate lengths of hedging (please note they are indicative only and are not to scale) but it is strongly suggested that before submitting a quotation contractors should verify the relevant lengths of hedging to ensure they quote for a suitable number of plants. (The cemetery is not locked and the 2 Garden of Rest areas are easily found just inside the gates). The Town Council will try to avoid booking any interments in the Garden of Rest whilst the contractor is scheduled to be on site, however if, for any reason, an interment does need to be scheduled the contractor will be informed and will cease work for the duration of the interment (normally 30mins -1hour) There is water and electricity in the nearby chapel building but any hoses or extension leads would need to be brought to site by the contractor. The submitted quotation should include pricing for: * Digging-out, removal and disposal of the existing box hedges * Preparing the ground for planting new hedging * Supply (and delivery) of the new plants * Planting of the new plants * Return to site every 3 months for a 1 year period from the planting date to check on health of plants and replace any that are failing to thrive * Providing care instructions for the new plants It would be helpful if contractors also indicated separately to the quotation document if they would be prepared to attend site and water the new plants as and when required and gave a price for doing so.
