This initiative falls under the landscaping work industry category, specifically focusing on landscaping for roads and motorways, and encompasses regions including the United Kingdom and other specified territories. The tender aims to engage three specialist contractors for planting works, divided into sections North, Central, and South along the Greatworth to Southam stretch of HS2. Applicants should note the deadline for tender submission is 25 February 2026, with the contract period starting on 1 September 2026 and concluding on 31 December 2029. The procurement is part of a larger works category, with an estimated value of £5,000,000. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in large-scale horticulture and environmental landscaping, particularly those with experience in infrastructure projects. The supply of trees, plants, and related materials will be handled by the employer, reducing upfront costs for contractors. Companies that can navigate gradients, embankments, and cuttings along the route will have an advantage. Larger enterprises with the capability for substantial planting volumes—over 1,500,000 plants—will be well-suited to compete, given the project's size and complexity. Although SMEs and VCSEs are not specifically targeted for this tender, businesses with robust operational capacity and strategic partnerships could leverage this opportunity to establish or expand their presence in large infrastructure projects, thus fostering business growth. Eiffage Kier JV offers direct contact with the buyer, through Chris Read, for any supply chain enquiries. ## Notice Greatworth to Southam (G2S) is the most North section of the C23 section of HS2 that is managed by EKFB JV.
