UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Hull City Council has awarded a contract for the supply of bedding plants, a procurement falling under the goods category, to O’Briens Nurseries. This contract, using an open tender procedure, is valued at £150,000 annually with a gross amount of £180,000. The contract is set to commence on 8 September 2025 and will conclude on 8 September 2028, with no available extensions. It followed a competitive one-stage process detailed under UK legislation 2023/54. The procurement was carried out in the region of Hull, United Kingdom, and the industry category involves live plants, bulbs, roots, cuttings, and slips. The contract was formalised on 3 September 2025, with all processes completed by 5 September 2025.

This procurement process offers significant business growth opportunities for suppliers of horticultural products, particularly those specialising in live plants as defined by CPV classifications. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), such as local nurseries, would find this tender particularly suitable due to the sector-specific requirements and the manageable scale of the contract. The tender’s open competition nature encourages a wider range of suppliers to engage, provided they meet the quality and cost criteria outlined: 30% technical/quality and 70% price/cost. By successfully engaging in such tenders, businesses can expand their client base and visibility within the sub-central government public sector.
