Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves Torbay Council, functioning as the buyer, and is focused on the project titled "PLA26072 Historic gardens phase 1 CMPs". This initiative falls under the services industry category, specifically architectural, construction, engineering, and environmental services. The goal of the project is to assess and develop Conservation Management Plans for Victoria Park in Paignton and Chapel Woods in Torquay, UK. The procurement stage is at the award stage, with Gro Landscape Architects Ltd being selected as the supplier. The process employed a limited procurement method due to its below-threshold nature. The contract commenced on 1st June 2026 and is set to conclude on 30th September 2026, valued at £28,000 GBP.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in landscape architecture and environmental consulting, as it involves developing comprehensive management plans for historical sites. Suitable candidates are likely to be small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in environmental services and an ability to handle the demands of limited competitions.
