The total estimated value of the contract is £6 million over a four-year period, with potential additional usage by other public contracting authorities in Staffordshire, bringing the projected total value to £12 million. The procurement method is an open procedure, with the tender period ending on 23 April 2021, and the contract period commencing from 1 October 2021 until 30 September 2025. The designated location for this contract is the West Midlands region of the United Kingdom. This tender presents a significant opportunity for SMEs engaged in landscape services, horticulture, and related fields, allowing them to participate in public sector contracts. Businesses capable of undertaking landscaping work for parks, gardens, cemeteries, sports grounds, and other green areas would be particularly well-positioned to compete. Competitors should also consider the 3% management fee applied by the City Council on invoices, which must be factored into their pricing proposals. This framework not only benefits Stoke-on-Trent City Council but also extends the opportunity for collaboration with various local authorities, NHS Trusts, and other public sector entities across Staffordshire, Cheshire, Shropshire, and Derbyshire. ## Notice A framework with up to 6 suitable contractors for each price category of landscape work.

The approximate value for Stoke-on-Trent City Council is PS6 million over the 4 year framework period. In addition, the City Council is making this framework available to all other relevant Contracting Authorities in Staffordshire. It is proposed that the framework be open to be accessed by the following public contracting authorities. (As such, the value published is PS12,000,000 - this is the projected approximate value, ie. PS6,000,000, for any additional usage by other contracting authorities): This opportunity is being published by Stoke-on-Trent City Council. However, it is proposed that the frameworks be open to be accessed by the following public contracting authorities: * Unitas Stoke-on-Trent Ltd; * All local authorities (including unitary authorities) within the boundaries of Staffordshire, Cheshire, Shropshire and Derbyshire: http://geoportal.statistics.gov.uk/datasets/local-authority-districts-december-2016-names-and-codes-in-the-united-kingdom/data * All higher education establishments in Staffordshire, Cheshire, Shropshire and Derbyshire: https://www.hesa.ac.uk/support/providers * All Further Education Colleges in Staffordshire, Cheshire, Shropshire and Derbyshire: http://findfe.com/searches.php?country=11 and http://findfe.com/searches.php?country=16 * All NHS Trusts in Staffordshire, Cheshire, Shropshire and Derbyshire: https://www.nhs.uk/servicedirectories/pages/nhstrustlisting.aspx * All police and fire & rescue authorities in Staffordshire, Cheshire, Shropshire and Derbyshire: https://www.police.uk/forces/ https://www.nationalfirechiefs.org.uk/Fire-and-Rescue-Services * All social landlords with a principal headquarters in Staffordshire, Cheshire, Shropshire and Derbyshire: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/current-registered-providers-of-social-housing All of the above are defined as "Contracting Authorities" within this specification. The City Council will potentially manage the framework on behalf of a range of public sector customers. To meet the cost of doing so, the Council will levy a fee equivalent to 3% of the value of all invoices between suppliers and customers. Where an order is in placed, the Council will invoice a supplier on a monthly basis (or quarterly where the amounts involved are modest). It is therefore crucial that tenderers include and allow for this 3% fee as part of their Commercial Response; All of the above are defined as "Contracting Authorities" within the specification. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ef7143d9-0b06-4a55-9e3d-9a1887ce8446 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Large, SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 22 Sep 2021 | | Submission deadline | 23 Apr 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 20 Sep 2021 | | Contract period | 30 Sep 2021 - 30 Sep 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £6,000,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £6,000,000 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | STOKE-ON-TRENT CITY COUNCIL | | Locality | STOKE-ON-TRENT | | Post town | Stoke-on-Trent | | Postcode | ST4 1HH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG2 Shropshire and Staffordshire | | ITL 3 | TLG23 Stoke-on-Trent | | Local authority | Stoke-on-Trent | | Electoral ward | Hartshill Park & Stoke | | Westminster constituency | Stoke-on-Trent Central | | Delivery location | TLG West Midlands (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 6 | | Supplier names | GROUND CONTROL;
