## Summary

The procurement process titled "SOL - GREENING THE GREY - AWARD" has been initiated by the Coventry - Solihull - Warwickshire authority, focusing on landscaping work to enhance wildlife connectivity across Solihull. The tender, classified under the main category of works with a minimum value of £5,000,000, commenced with the end date for submissions on 12th November 2018. The contract period is set from 17th December 2018 to 5th March 2021. The procurement method adopted is an open procedure, catering to a variety of landscaping and grounds maintenance services.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in landscaping, horticultural services, and environmental enhancement projects. Companies experienced in large-scale planting, grounds maintenance services, and habitat restoration, particularly those capable of managing contracts with substantial financial values, would be well-positioned to compete. The involvement of the European Regional Development Fund may also signify additional funding avenues, making it an attractive prospect for firms looking to expand their operations within the West Midlands region.

## Notice

Wildlife Ways (working title Greening the Grey) aims to develop connections across Solihull with green networks and improved wildlife sites. Planting and seeding works will take place across much of the existing cycle network (69 km) and new shared paths (23 km), along Highway verges or through public open space. Planting will comprise the planting of heavy standard and semi-mature size trees, and smaller feathered trees, whips and transplants for hedgerow planting; large-scale wildflower seeding along verges and in parks and public open spaces, along with bulb planting; and wildflower turf areas, typically along key corridors. Tenderers should note that elements of the Services/ Works may be partially funded by the European Regional Development Fund.
