The contract is to deliver landscaping works at the Rowstock Gardens / Camden Estate (a housing estate just off Camden Road). The estate has a large, shared outdoor space of c. 9,524m2. Although the existing gardens are large, they are underutilised. The Council wishes to create a more engaging and activated outdoor space for residents to enjoy. There will also be practical measures implemented, such as infilling the perimeter hedge to reduce the issue of non-residents jumping the fence. The contractor will deliver: * soft landscaping works/ planting, * installation of new play equipment with play-grade bark mulch underneath, * minor elements of hard landscaping (repairs to existing tarmac, installation of painted playground games on existing concrete paving) The agreement will run for a period of approx. 4 months.

This contract is being procured using the Quotations exercise. Under this procedure, a pre-selected group of contractors are invited to bid. The award criteria for the Contract will be 50% Price and 50% Quality (of which, 20% is Social Value). The end date for submissions is 6 February 2026 at 12pm. Late submissions will not be accepted.
