UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Salford City Council is seeking services to design and deliver floating wetland habitats in Salford. The requirement combines the planning and physical delivery of habitat installations associated with water projects, together with horticultural and aquaculture services. It is a service contract rather than a supply-only or conventional building opportunity. Businesses should therefore be able to contribute to the design of floating wetland habitats as well as their delivery in the Salford area. The procurement covers the whole requirement as one lot. The work is located in Salford, within Greater Manchester. It may interest environmental design and delivery specialists, water-project contractors, horticultural businesses, aquaculture providers, and organisations able to bring these disciplines together in a single service response for the council.

The procurement has reached tender: Salford City Council invited offers through an open procedure. It is a single-lot opportunity, with electronic submission allowed in English. Enquiries had to be submitted by 7 October 2026 at 14:00, and offers by 21 October 2026 at 14:00. The council’s award decision period was scheduled to end on 1 December 2026. The contract period is 1 December 2026 to 31 July 2027. The estimated value is £180,000 excluding VAT, or £216,000 including VAT. Offers are evaluated on quality at 55%, price at 30% and social value at 15%. The opportunity is above the relevant threshold, and the stated submission reference is DN816436.

This opportunity suits small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. Strong candidates are likely to be able to combine environmental or habitat design with practical delivery in and around water environments. Relevant commercial capabilities include construction work for water projects, horticultural services and aquaculture services, reflecting the three service areas identified for the requirement. The work is suited to a business, consortium or delivery team that can coordinate these disciplines rather than providing only one narrow element. Suppliers should be prepared to demonstrate how their proposed approach will deliver quality and social value, as these together account for 70% of the evaluation. Organisations with established delivery capacity across floating wetland habitat work should find the scope particularly relevant.
