Summary of the contracting process

Coventry City Council procured a multi-supplier programme of parks improvement and maintenance works across Coventry. The scope includes landscaping in parks, green spaces, cemeteries, sports grounds and recreation areas; minor civil engineering; drainage and flood-prevention work; installation of benches, other street furniture and fencing; and footpath installation and maintenance. This is a works requirement combining construction and ongoing maintenance, rather than a purchase of goods alone. The four appointed suppliers are expected to provide services across the city. The range of activities makes the programme relevant to contractors with parks and grounds expertise as well as firms able to deliver associated civil engineering, drainage, fencing and public-realm installations.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. Coventry City Council selected Haystoun Construction Ltd, HJH Commercial Consultants Ltd, Ramora Limited and Ventureserve Ltd for a single-lot, closed framework with up to five suppliers. The award was made on 9 September 2026 for £2,000,000 excluding VAT (£2,400,000 including VAT). The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 27 September 2030. The procurement used an open competition below the applicable threshold. Award scoring gave 70% to net price and 30% to quality: health, safety and compliance (10%), carbon production and waste management (10%), training and competence (5%), and quality assurance and performance monitoring (5%). Framework call-offs may be made by supplier ranking or by further competition among capable suppliers.

This award shows Coventry City Council buys a broad, coordinated package of parks works, spanning landscaping and footpaths alongside smaller civil engineering, drainage, flood-prevention, fencing and street-furniture jobs. The framework brought together four suppliers, so competitors should be able to demonstrate capacity to deliver varied tasks across the city, either directly or through a credible delivery team. Price carried most of the evaluation weight, making cost control important, but quality accounted for the remainder. A credible future competitor would need robust health and safety compliance, effective carbon and waste management, workforce training and competence, and dependable quality assurance and performance monitoring. The contract also sets expectations for work to meet specification and agreed timescales, with defects resolved within agreed periods; evidence of reliable delivery against these measures would strengthen a supplier’s position.
