Summary of the contracting process

Slough Borough Council is procuring the supply and installation of community sustainable drainage system (SuDS) planters as phase two of its Project Sponge downpipe planter programme. The planters are to be installed at four sites in Slough: Cippenham Primary School and Cippenham Library, both on Elmshott Lane; Godolphin Junior Academy on Oatlands Drive; and Penn Wood School on Penn Road. This is a goods requirement involving planters and associated garden or urban furniture, with installation at the named school, academy and library locations.

The council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. The tender submission deadline set was 23 October 2026 at 12:00 noon. The contract period was scheduled to run from 23 November 2026 to 31 March 2027. The procurement is arranged as one lot. Evaluation gives price a weighting of 60% and quality 40%. Electronic submission was permitted. The published tender value is recorded as zero, so it does not provide a usable estimate of the contract’s monetary scale.

This opportunity is suited to suppliers able to provide and install planters for community sustainable drainage at multiple public sites. Relevant suppliers may include businesses specialising in planters, garden or urban furniture, landscaping, or sustainable drainage infrastructure, provided they can meet the site requirements across schools and a library in Slough. Delivery involves coordinating installations at four separate locations, so bidders should be equipped to plan and carry out work at occupied community and educational premises. The tender’s quality-and-price assessment means suppliers need to offer a credible delivery approach as well as competitive pricing. The requirement identifies no specific accreditation, technical standard, minimum capacity or prior experience requirement.
