Summary of the contracting process

Newcastle City Council commissioned landscaping works for Adelaide Terrace street-end improvements in Newcastle upon Tyne. The requirement covers specialist soft landscaping for six sustainable drainage system (SuDS) rain gardens at two street-end locations off Adelaide Terrace. The work is intended to support sustainable drainage through planted rain-garden installations, combining landscape construction with delivery of SuDS-related public-realm improvements. The procurement is categorised as works, specifically landscaping work (CPV 45112700). Newcastle City Council is the buying organisation and the delivery locations are the two street ends off Adelaide Terrace in Newcastle upon Tyne. This is a focused local-authority requirement for contractors able to deliver specialist soft landscaping associated with sustainable drainage infrastructure, rather than a general grounds-maintenance or routine gardening service.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. Newcastle City Council appointed MICROSITE, an SME, as the supplier. The award covers one lot and the contract was signed on 15 September 2026. The contract runs from 15 September 2026 to 14 September 2031. Its value is £25,653.30 excluding VAT, or £30,783.96 including VAT. The awarded contract is active. The process used a direct procurement route under the Procurement Act 2023. The requirement was evaluated through the council’s non-competitive below-threshold route; the available outcome records identify the landscaping works and appointed supplier but do not set out a scored evaluation basis or separate participation requirements. This is an awarded contract, not an opportunity to submit a bid.

For a supplier assessing future work for Newcastle City Council, this award demonstrates demand for specialist soft landscaping linked to sustainable drainage schemes and public-realm improvements. A credible competitor would need practical experience designing or delivering planted SuDS rain gardens, together with the ability to carry out landscaping works at multiple street-end sites. Relevant capability includes preparing sites, installing and establishing suitable planting, working around existing highways or public spaces, and coordinating delivery across two locations. The requirement is small in physical scope but extends over a substantial contract period, so suppliers should be able to support durable installations and any associated obligations throughout the contract. Businesses specialising in SuDS landscaping, urban greening and sustainable drainage construction are the closest fit when this council next requires comparable work.
