Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves the Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough Council, which is seeking to engage a contract for the design and installation of 'A Clockwork Garden' at Antrim Castle Gardens. This project falls within the category of landscaping work for gardens and represents a unique intersection of art and horticulture. The contract was signed on 1st April 2022, with a total value of £250,000. The procurement method was limited, undertaken through a negotiated process without the publication of a contract notice. The project has reached the award stage, with Diarmuid Gavin Designs Ltd as the selected supplier.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the landscaping and garden design sector to explore innovative landscaping projects, especially those with capabilities to create artistic and engaging installations. Companies with experience in collaborative design and execution of public art projects, particularly landscape artists and SMEs specialised in garden design, would be particularly well-suited to take advantage of similar future opportunities. The historic and cultural significance of this project, linked to the Queen's Platinum Jubilee, may also attract attention from businesses seeking to align themselves with prestigious public initiatives.

Design and Installation of 'A Clockwork Garden' at Antrim Castle Gardens

Procurement Information

'A Clockwork Garden' at Antrim Castle Gardens, designed by Diarmuid Gavin, comes to life every 15 minutes when trees will dance and many other elements turn and move. A similar 'show garden', designed by Diarmuid Gavin for the Chelsea Flower Show won awards and drew 1000's of spectators and huge critical acclaim. This garden will be one of its kind to be installed permanently in this location. The Chelsea Flower Show is delivered by the Royal Horticultural Society with the Queen and other members of the Royal Family attending the event annually. In the Queen's Platinum Jubilee year this is a unique way to link the 'Clockwork Garden' proposal with the Platinum Jubilee and the Queen's Garden Canopy with 'Dancing Trees for the Jubilee' and provide a lasting legacy to mark this significant occasion. Only one supplier, Diarmuid Gavin meets this brief.
