## Summary

The procurement process involves Suffolk Sourcing, which is based in Bury St Edmunds, UK, seeking quotations through an open tender for the supply and delivery of bedding plants and floral units. This award was announced on 12th December 2017, following a tender submission deadline of 7th December 2017. The contract for successful bidders will commence on 18th December 2017 and last until 31st October 2018, with a total estimated value of £35,000 for the goods, which fall under the category of live plants, specifically focusing on bedding plants and related floral units.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for nurseries and horticultural businesses, particularly those specialising in bedding plants and floral units, to engage with a local government authority that has a strong track record in horticultural excellence, as demonstrated by its achievements in the Britain in Bloom awards. Companies able to provide high-quality, ready-to-plant goods would be well-suited to compete for this contract, which not only aims to enhance local beautification efforts but also offers a chance to secure a long-term relationship with a key public sector buyer.

## Notice

The deadline for submission is 3pm on 7th of December 2017. The Council is requesting quotations for the supply and delivery of bedding plants (Lot 1) and floral units (Lot 2) (the Goods) in a condition ready to plant out.

The quality of the Council's plant material is an integral part of this operation and the Council aims to attain even higher standards of horticultural excellence.
