Summary of the contracting process

Oakham Town Council is seeking a supplier to design, supply, install and maintain floral displays at multiple locations in and around Oakham Town Centre. This is horticultural services work (CPV 77300000), covering the displays from initial design and provision through installation and ongoing upkeep. The locations are within Oakham Town Centre, Oakham, in England. The council’s stated purpose is to identify and pre-qualify organisations with the expertise to carry out this work.

The council invited expressions of interest and offers through a selective competitive procedure with negotiation. The stated submission deadline was 27 October 2026; submissions were to be written and in English. The process has reached the tender stage. It is organised as one lot covering floral displays at multiple town-centre locations, with the aim of identifying and pre-qualifying suitable candidates. The tender data gives no contract value, contract duration, contract start or end date, enquiry deadline, or award evaluation criteria. The stated purpose is pre-qualification; suppliers’ relevant expertise is the basis for identifying candidates.

This opportunity is suited to horticultural businesses able to deliver the full service rather than just supply plants or provide routine maintenance. The requirement calls for expertise in designing floral displays, sourcing and supplying them, installing them, and maintaining them at several locations in and around the town centre. Suppliers should be equipped to coordinate work across multiple sites and sustain the displays after installation. The pre-qualification stage is intended to identify organisations with the expertise required for that end-to-end work. The buyer describes qualified organisations as its target candidates, making demonstrated horticultural capability across design, supply, installation and upkeep central to a competitive expression of interest.
