Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the supply of bedding plants to East Riding of Yorkshire Council, headquartered in Beverley, UK, has reached completion. This open procedure commenced in 2025, concluding with a contract award on 26th January 2026. The contract, valued at £365,000 excluding VAT, is set to be active from 1st February 2026 to 31st January 2028, with a potential extension of two years. The process was initiated under the legal framework provided by the UK Parliament Act 2023/54. It falls under the agricultural and horticultural products category, focusing on the delivery of goods across the United Kingdom, particularly in the East Yorkshire region. Initially announced via a tender notice on 10th October 2025, the opportunity remained open for submissions until November 2025.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for suppliers, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialised in horticultural and agricultural goods. Aldby Field Nurseries Ltd, an SME based in York, successfully secured the contract, demonstrating the framework's suitability for businesses aiming to establish or strengthen their presence within the public sector. The focus on bedding plants suggests that businesses proficient in cultivating a diverse range of floricultural products may find similar future tenders advantageous. Additionally, the framework agreement with options for reopening competition further allows businesses to potentially engage in future lots, encouraging sustained growth and revenue generation.
