FLORAL SUPPLY AND MAINTENANCE OF FLOWERBEDS, PLANTERS, HANGING BASKETS, SHRUB AND PERENNIAL BEDS OCTOBER 2023 - OCTOBER 2026

Notice Description

INVITATION TO TENDER FLORAL SUPPLY AND MAINTENANCE OF FLOWERBEDS, PLANTERS, HANGING BASKETS, SHRUB AND PERENNIAL BEDS OCTOBER 2023 - OCTOBER 2026 FOR SUDBURY TOWN COUNCIL Sudbury Town Council takes great pride in the appearance of our town centre and the green spaces we are responsible for and recognises the significant role that well maintained, sustainable and creative floral and plant displays play in creating an attractive and vibrant town centre. We are now seeking tenders for the supply and maintenance of high-quality and sustainable plant, shrub and floral displays in Sudbury for three years starting on 16 October 2023. As part of our ongoing commitment to work more sustainably across all areas of our business, Sudbury Town Council members adopted a perennial planting policy in 2022 aiming for a 70% overall perennial scheme across all our beds and planters with complementary seasonal Winter and Summer planting. To complement the adopted perennial policy, and in recognition of hotter, drier summers in this region, Sudbury Town Council are now harvesting rainwater in IBC tanks installed in the town centre. We are also reducing and reusing our green waste by cutting back on seasonal bedding plants and producing our own peat-free compost via Aerobin Hot Composters. We particularly welcome tenders that address and creatively respond to the changing climate conditions, particularly in our region, and employs suitable planting schemes that can tolerate sustained extremes of temperature. The successful contractor will be suitably experienced, staffed and qualified to undertake this tender and be able to provide examples of similar successful projects that they have been involved in.
