UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Hillingdon initiated a public procurement process titled "Supply and Planting of Spring Flowering Bulbs" under the horticultural services category. The contracting authority is situated in Uxbridge, United Kingdom, and the procurement initially fell under an active tender phase. However, as of January 2026, the procurement process has been marked complete following a cancellation of an award announced in December 2025. This open competition was conducted under the legal basis UKPGA 2023/54, with procurement submissions required via the PROACTIS portal by 3rd September 2025. This initiative was part of Hillingdon's Parks Improvement Programme aimed at enhancing local parks.

This tender provided a notable opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) specialising in horticultural services to expand their business by contributing to the improvement of public spaces in Hillingdon. With a tender value appraised around £90,000, it is well-suited for businesses experienced in horticultural planting and with a capacity to manage projects of this scale. Such a contract would support business growth by increasing visibility and credibility in the public sector while diversifying the company’s portfolio within the sub-central government procurement landscape.
