The tender process is currently complete, with the winning bid awarded to Hockering Nurseries, valued at £39,000. The contract began on 1 April 2017 and extends until 31 March 2018, with the possibility of annual extensions based on funding availability. This procurement falls under the service industry category, specifically focused on live plants and horticultural services, with a minimum contract value set at £30,000. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in horticulture and landscaping services, particularly those possessing experience in maintaining public floral displays. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly encouraged to engage in similar contracts which can enhance their portfolios and expand their operational capacity. Participating in such tenders not only aids in acquiring valuable public sector contracts but also bolsters local community engagement through beautification projects. ## Notice In order to support its priority to make Norwich a prosperous and vibrant city, Norwich City Council intends to continue to enhance the appearance of public places with a combination of floral displays which include hangings baskets, barrier baskets, planters and other containers. In recent years the floral displays in Norwich have gained local, regional and national recognition in various horticultural competitions.

The contract will initially be for one year with an option to extend for two additional years to Autumn 2019 (the extension is will be made on an annual basis dependent on availability of funding / budget).
