Summary of the contracting process

Blaenau Gwent County Borough Council commissioned access improvements and tree planting at Garden City woodlands. The works comprise excavation and earthmoving, importing aggregate, and planting trees, supporting improved access through the woodland. The work is landscaping for a green area, delivered in Blaenau Gwent, Wales. The council is the buyer and the contract covers one lot.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The council used a below-threshold limited competition, sourcing quotations under its contract procedure rules. LWE Projects Ltd was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 30 September 2026 and runs from 1 October to 16 November 2026. Its value is £32,665.60 excluding VAT (£39,198.72 including VAT). The contract period and value relate to the access improvements and tree planting at Garden City woodlands.

For suppliers who did not win, this award shows the council buys compact, site-based woodland access and planting works combining ground preparation, aggregate supply and tree planting. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to deliver those activities as a joined-up package, with the equipment and workforce to carry out excavation and earthmoving, move and place aggregate, and establish trees in a green-space setting. LWE Projects Ltd, the selected supplier, is an SME, indicating that a smaller contractor was able to deliver this scale of work. Relevant experience in landscaping or practical grounds works, reliable site coordination and the capacity to complete several complementary tasks within a short programme would be useful strengths for competing when this buyer next procures similar work.
