Summary of the contracting process

The Northern Ireland Housing Executive, situated in Belfast, has successfully completed the procurement process for a framework agreement titled "Framework for the Supply and Delivery of Nursery Stock." This agreement covers the industry category of tree-nursery products within the region of Northern Ireland (UKN) and includes goods such as trees, shrubs, herbaceous plants, and bulbs. Using an open procurement method through a competitive flexible procedure, the contract was awarded on 9th February 2026, with the contract period running from 23rd February 2026 to 22nd February 2030. The procurement stage culminated in an award on 19th March 2026, highlighting a streamlined purchasing process under Northern Irish devolved regulations.

This tender represents significant business growth opportunities for SMEs specialising in horticulture and nursery product supply. Firms capable of supplying quality nursery stock are well-positioned to benefit from the £1,440,000 gross valuation of this contract, which specifies items essential for landscaping and housing projects across Northern Ireland. The framework agreement, utilizing a flexible procedure, invites suppliers to compete on cost, thereby opening avenues for competitive pricing strategies. The suppliers—including both larger firms like idverde Limited and smaller regional nurseries such as Beech Grove Nursery—suggest that a range of operational scales can participate, offering diversification in market reach and potential for local and international growth within the tree-nursery products industry.
