UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Macclesfield Town Council has initiated a public procurement process for the project titled "Town Centre Florals," classified under the industry category of floral-display services. This open procurement, aimed at enhancing the aesthetic appeal of Macclesfield's town centre, encompasses the planting, watering, and maintenance of various floral displays, including 104 half circle pole mounted baskets and 72 barrier planters. The procurement process is currently at the tender stage, with submissions due by 4 November 2025. The contract begins on 1 March 2026 and has potential extensions up to 2029. The budget for this service is up to £180,000, and interested parties must submit their bids electronically through the council's dedicated portal.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in horticultural services, particularly those capable of providing high-quality floral design and maintenance solutions. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in managing large-scale floral installations would be well-suited to compete, especially as the council allows for the partial fulfilment of the contract, making it accessible to smaller operators. The evaluation criteria will focus on both cost and quality, with a heavier emphasis on cost (60%). Responding businesses should prepare detailed submissions that highlight relevant experience, design capabilities, and commitments to environmental sustainability and social value. This procurement offers a platform for businesses to showcase their capabilities and potentially establish long-term partnerships with a public authority.
