Summary of the contracting process

Medway Council procured landscaping and pathway works at Temple Marsh. The requirement covers practical outdoor works associated with green areas and parks, including landscaping activity and path construction or improvement. The buying organisation is Medway Council, a sub-central public authority based in Chatham. Delivery is in the Medway area of Kent. The procurement was categorised as works, with the activity classified as landscaping work, landscaping for green areas and landscaping for parks. The requirement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to contractors that can organise and deliver site-based landscape and pathway works for a local authority. The selected supplier was PVR Contracting Ltd, an SME based in Horndean.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. Medway Council used a below-threshold open competition. The tender deadline was 29 June 2026 at 5pm, with enquiries closing on 22 June 2026 at 5pm. The tender estimated value was £500 excluding VAT, or £600 including VAT. PVR Contracting Ltd was awarded the single lot. The contract was signed on 7 August 2026 and runs from 11 August 2026 to 10 August 2027, with one optional three-month extension to a maximum end date of 10 November 2027. The contract value is £290,963 excluding VAT, or £349,155.60 including VAT. Evaluation weighted quality at 50%, price at 45% and social value at 5%.

This procurement shows demand from Medway Council for a contractor able to deliver complete landscaping and pathway works in a public green-space or park setting. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need practical landscaping capability, experience delivering paths and associated external works, and sufficient site-management capacity to complete local-authority work safely and to the required quality. The evaluation places the greatest emphasis on quality, followed by price, with a separate social-value element, so suppliers should be able to evidence reliable workmanship, delivery planning and measurable wider community benefits alongside competitive pricing. The opportunity is particularly relevant to SMEs already operating in Kent or nearby areas, with the resources to mobilise for a council-managed landscape project and demonstrate relevant parks or green-area experience.
