UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Coventry City Council is seeking a provider to promote, plan, manage and deliver community events at three identified locations in Coventry. The events are intended to engage local people in maintaining trees and improving community connections. This is an event-management and community engagement service, with work combining event planning and delivery with support for local involvement in urban tree care. The requirement is for a single lot covering the event services. The council is the buyer and the work is delivered across the three locations identified for the project in Coventry.

The council invited offers through an open competition, and the process reached the tender stage. The bid deadline set was 5 October 2026 at 12:00. The contract period runs from 26 October 2026 to 25 October 2029. The estimated value is £37,500 excluding VAT (£45,000 including VAT). The council may award the contract wholly or partly to the offer it considers most advantageous. Technical quality carries 70% of the evaluation, based on responses to the technical criteria in the procurement documents; net price carries 30%. Electronic submission was permitted. There is one lot, covering the whole requirement.

This opportunity is suited to event-management providers able to deliver community-facing activities across several locations and engage residents in practical environmental work. Suppliers should be able to plan and promote events, manage their delivery, and work with local communities to support tree maintenance and stronger community connections. The evaluation gives greater weight to technical quality than to price, so a competitive offer will need to address the council’s technical criteria convincingly as well as offer a sound net price. The multi-year contract calls for the organisational capacity to sustain delivery over the contract period. The stated requirement does not identify a particular accreditation or prior-experience threshold.
