Summary of the contracting process

West Oxfordshire District Council is seeking a contractor for public realm improvements at Marriotts Walk Shopping Centre in Witney, Oxfordshire. The works are intended to support town-centre regeneration, improve the visitor experience and strengthen the local economy. This is a landscaping and public-realm works contract, including new trees, shrubs, perennial and meadow planting, turf and biodiversity enhancements. It also covers seating, bins, cycle stands and planters; public realm artwork and interpretation features; paving alterations, path construction and associated landscaping; and removal of existing street furniture followed by reinstatement works. The procurement is categorised as landscaping work (CPV 45112700). The Council will award one works contract covering the whole requirement, rather than separate lots.

The process reached tender: the Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Bids were due by 16 September 2026 at 17:00. The contract period is set from 23 October 2026 to 4 November 2026, while the project description anticipates a six-week duration. The estimated tender value is £158,000 excluding VAT, or £189,000 including VAT. Evaluation is based on 60% price and 40% quality. The requirement is not divided into lots. Electronic submission is allowed through the Publica Group procurement portal. This is a single-stage competitive opportunity for contractors to submit tenders against the drawings and associated tender documentation for the complete programme of works.

This opportunity suits landscape contractors and public-realm specialists able to deliver planting, turfing, biodiversity measures, paving and path construction as one coordinated works package. Competitors should be capable of supplying and installing street furniture, cycle stands, bins, planters and seating, while also managing artwork or interpretation features and removing and reinstating existing furniture. The scope favours businesses with practical experience of hard and soft landscaping in a public-facing shopping-centre or town-centre environment, where workmanship, coordination and the finished visitor experience matter. Suitable suppliers will need the capacity to complete the full range of works under a single contract and to demonstrate quality alongside competitive pricing, since quality accounts for 40% of the evaluation.
