## Summary

Southampton City Council procured landscaping works for the Sturminster House Decent Neighbourhoods Project. The work is classified as landscaping and is categorised as construction works. Delivery is in Southampton, at the Sturminster House site in the SO14 7LY postcode area. The project is intended to improve the neighbourhood environment around the housing location, with the requirement focused on the delivery of physical landscaping works rather than goods or professional services. The council is the buying organisation and the selected supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise. This opportunity is most relevant to landscaping contractors, civil engineering businesses with landscaping capability, and construction firms able to deliver site-based external works for a local authority housing project.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Southampton City Council used a selective procedure to call off from a framework agreement. The contract was awarded to 3 Counties Civil Engineering Limited on 17 August 2026 for £551,692.71 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 21 September 2026 to 20 September 2027. The tender submission deadline was 13 July 2026 at 12:00. The requirement was suitable for SMEs and was treated as works. The award is active, and the awarded supplier is responsible for the landscaping works for the Sturminster House Decent Neighbourhoods Project in Southampton.

For businesses that did not win this procurement, the award provides a clear indication of Southampton City Council’s demand for substantial, site-based landscaping works linked to its housing neighbourhoods. A credible future competitor would need practical landscaping delivery capability, the workforce and equipment to manage a construction-scale external works project, and sufficient commercial capacity to perform a requirement of this size over a year-long contract period. Experience of working for public-sector or housing clients would help demonstrate an understanding of site management, resident-facing environments, quality control and contractual reporting. Suppliers already appointed to relevant framework agreements, or able to form partnerships with framework contractors, would be better placed to compete through the same call-off route.
