UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Derry City and Strabane District Council is buying seasonal horticultural products, chiefly summer and spring bedding plants, plus planted hanging baskets and barrier planters. The procurement supports colourful bedding displays in public spaces as part of the Council’s grounds maintenance programme, benefiting residents and visitors. It covers work across Derry City, Strabane town and outlying towns and villages within the District. The plants and planted items must be delivered to nominated points throughout the District. The procurement is divided into three lots: summer bedding, delivery of planted hanging baskets and barrier planters, and spring bedding. Suppliers may tender for one, any, or all lots, provided they can carry out all work required within each lot.

The process has reached tender: the Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition, with electronic submissions accepted via etendersNI. The enquiry deadline was 21 August 2026 at 12:00 and the tender submission deadline was 4 September 2026 at 12:00. Each lot covers 1 January to 31 December 2027. The gross estimated values are £40,000 for summer bedding, £30,000 for planted hanging baskets and barrier planters, and £20,000 for spring bedding; the total estimated gross value is £90,000. The published lot information says selection and award criteria are set out in the tender documents. Suppliers can bid for one, any, or all lots, subject to meeting the requirements for the lots they choose.

This opportunity suits commercial nurseries, bedding plant growers, horticultural suppliers and specialist planting contractors able to provide seasonal plants or planted street furniture. Suppliers should be capable of undertaking all requirements within each selected lot, rather than supplying only part of its scope. The work requires reliable production or sourcing of summer and spring bedding plants, and for the relevant lot, planting hanging baskets and barrier planters. Strong distribution and delivery planning are important because plants must reach nominated points throughout Derry City, Strabane town and the surrounding towns and villages. The requirement may suit a single supplier with broad seasonal capability or businesses focusing on one product area, since bids may cover one, several or all lots.
