Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham City Council established a multi-supplier framework for fencing and security products across its operational area in Nottingham. The work is classified as fencing, railing and safety equipment installation. It covers the supply, delivery, installation, maintenance and repair of fencing, together with removal and reinstatement where required. The requirement is for physical works and associated products rather than consultancy or routine goods supply alone. It is intended to support the council’s operational activities through contractors able to provide complete fencing solutions, from supplying materials through to installation and subsequent repair. The framework is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations, indicating that the council expects participation from a range of specialist and established fencing and security contractors.

The procurement is complete and was run as an open procedure. Seven bids were received, with five reaching the final stage. Evaluation awarded 60% to price and 40% to quality. Two active awards were made on 15 June 2026: Rushcliffe Fencing Ltd and THOMPSON TREE SERVICES (UK) LTD each received an award valued at £7,920,000 gross. Both contracts were signed separately, on 8 July 2026 and 22 July 2026 respectively. Each contract runs from 3 August 2026 to 2 August 2030 and has a gross value of £7,920,000. The closed framework allows up to two participants and uses ranked direct awards: the council prices each requirement against submitted rates and approaches the best-priced contractor first, then the second contractor if needed. The framework contract period was stated as 1 June 2026 to 31 May 2030, with a tender deadline of 4 May 2026 at noon.

This award demonstrates recurring council demand for end-to-end fencing and security works in Nottingham, including supply, installation, surveys, planned repairs, urgent work and removal or reinstatement. A credible future competitor would need practical fencing and security capability, access to suitable materials and installation teams, and the capacity to respond to different work priorities. The agreed service measures require surveys within five working days of an order, urgent works within seven days, repairs within 30 days and planned works within 90 days. Suppliers should therefore be able to manage work orders reliably, mobilise quickly for urgent requirements, deliver planned programmes and maintain clear operational records. The route also favours contractors able to provide competitive, transparent rates for baskets of varied items, while demonstrating quality in addition to price.
