Summary of the contracting process

Renfrewshire Council commissioned construction works to redevelop the former Brown Institute site into a garden space. The work is in Renfrew, Renfrewshire, and covers the delivery of an outdoor landscaped environment. It is classified as construction work, including landscaping and landscape-gardening services. The council is the buying organisation and the requirement was structured as a single lot. This opportunity is therefore relevant to construction contractors, landscape contractors and firms able to combine site redevelopment with garden and public-realm works. The requirement concerns physical works at a named former institutional site rather than consultancy, routine grounds maintenance or the supply of standalone goods. The selected contractor is Landscapes and Contracts Limited, a Glasgow-based SME.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-regulated works open procedure run under Renfrewshire Council’s standing orders. The submission deadline and bid opening were both 13 July 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded on 13 July 2026 to Landscapes and Contracts Limited for £136,000.66 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract was signed on 31 August 2026 and is active. The single lot has a contract duration of 120 days. Bids were submitted electronically in English, and four bids were received; all four were from SMEs. Variants were not allowed, and the arrangement does not include renewal or additional purchase options. Electronic payment and ordering are supported, with electronic invoicing allowed.

For businesses that did not win, this award demonstrates a defined local-authority market for relatively contained construction and landscaping projects that convert an existing site into a public garden space. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need to act as a construction contractor, with the practical capacity to manage site redevelopment and deliver landscaping or landscape-gardening works as one coordinated package. The competition attracted four SME bids, showing that smaller firms can participate in this scale of council works. Businesses should be able to prepare an electronic tender in English and operate within a single-lot structure, while demonstrating relevant delivery capability for outdoor public-realm improvements rather than offering general services without site-construction expertise.
