UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Bournemouth Christchurch and Poole Council is buying 22 large corten steel planters for Boscombe High Street. The requirement covers their design, manufacture and delivery, making this a goods opportunity for manufacturers, fabricators and specialist suppliers of durable urban furniture. Delivery is to Boscombe High Street in Bournemouth. The planters are intended for a public high-street setting, so relevant businesses are those able to produce substantial corten steel items and arrange their delivery to the council’s required location. The procurement is being run by the council as the public body responsible for the purchase.

The procurement has reached tender: the council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Bidders could submit electronically. Enquiries had to be made by 25 August 2026 at 23:59, and offers had to be submitted by 10 September 2026 at 14:00. The contract period is 1 October 2026 to 28 February 2027. Its estimated value is £120,000 excluding VAT, or £144,000 including VAT. This is a single-lot opportunity. Offers are evaluated on quality at 70%, price at 20% and social value at 10%. Participation is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

This opportunity suits suppliers that can take responsibility for the full chain from design through manufacture to delivery, rather than businesses offering only a transport or installation service. Relevant capability includes fabricating large corten steel planters and producing consistent, durable urban furniture for a prominent public setting. Suppliers should have the workshop, equipment, materials management and delivery capacity needed to produce 22 substantial items within the required contract period. The evaluation places most weight on quality, so businesses with strong design control, manufacturing standards, quality assurance and evidence of reliable delivery will be well placed. The requirement is expressly suitable for SMEs, making it relevant to established specialist fabricators as well as larger manufacturers.
