UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Vico Homes Limited procured a service to maintain rented office plants. The work is horticultural maintenance, rather than the supply of plants alone, and is intended to keep plants in its offices maintained. Delivery is recorded in England. The requirement was arranged as a single lot and was bought directly by Vico Homes Limited. The awarded supplier, Oasis Plants Limited, is based in Sandbach, Cheshire. The description does not detail particular maintenance tasks, plant quantities or office locations, so the stated scope is limited to rental office plant maintenance. This is a facilities-related service for a supplier able to maintain indoor office planting for a housing organisation.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Vico Homes Limited used a direct award below the procurement threshold, without competition, for a single lot. Oasis Plants Limited was selected. The contract was signed on 9 October 2026 and runs from 9 October 2026 to 8 October 2028. Its gross value is £54,109.72. No tender evaluation criteria or award basis are recorded, consistent with the stated route of proceeding without competition. The award covers horticultural services for the plant maintenance requirement. The contract period and value describe the awarded contract; the procurement data does not break these down further by service task or location.

For a future requirement of this kind, credible suppliers are those able to provide ongoing maintenance of rental office plants for a property organisation, with the operational capacity to service its offices reliably over a sustained contract. Oasis Plants Limited, a small and medium-sized enterprise, was selected, showing that this requirement was delivered by an SME rather than only a large contractor. The procurement used a direct award without competition, so suppliers seeking to compete for similar work should be positioned to engage with Vico Homes when it makes purchasing decisions, as well as demonstrate relevant horticultural service capability. The requirement is specifically office plant maintenance; general landscaping or plant sales alone would not demonstrate a close fit.
