The requirement covers horticultural and town greening services, including the ongoing upkeep of planted or displayed floral arrangements in the town. The buying organisation is Neston Town Council, based at Neston Town Hall. Delivery is required in Neston, within the CH64 9TR area. This is a services contract, classified under CPV 77000000 for agricultural, forestry, horticultural, aquacultural and apicultural services. The opportunity is therefore relevant to businesses providing commercial floral displays, planting, horticultural maintenance or related town-centre environmental services, particularly those able to manage recurring maintenance work across a defined local area. The process has reached tender: Neston Town Council invited companies to submit quotations. It uses a limited procedure through a competitive quotation below the public procurement threshold. Quotations must be submitted by 30 September 2026 at 5:00 pm. The council expects to award the contract before the end of 2026, with the contract commencing on 1 October 2027. The stated contract value is £25,000 GBP. The published contract period runs from 1 October 2027 to 30 September 2028. The council anticipates an initial one-year term, with a possible further two-year extension if a review during the first year is successful for both parties, giving an anticipated maximum duration of three years. Quotations may be submitted by post or email. This opportunity suits an SME with practical horticultural and floral-display capability, able to supply arrangements and maintain them reliably in Neston. Relevant suppliers may include commercial florists, grounds maintenance firms, horticultural contractors and businesses delivering public-realm greening services. The work calls for capacity to provide an initial service and then sustain recurring maintenance across the town, rather than a one-off supply of flowers. Local knowledge of Neston could be useful for planning visits, maintaining arrangements and responding to the council’s requirements, although the published suitability information identifies the opportunity as suitable for SMEs rather than a restricted organisation type. Businesses should be comfortable preparing a competitive quotation against the council’s specification and delivering an externally visible town-centre service to an agreed standard. ## Notice CONTRACT FOR THE PROVISION AND MAINTENANCE OF FLORAL ARRANGEMENTS WITHIN NESTON, CHESHIRE Neston Town Council invites any companies interested in being considered for this contract as detailed in the specification, to submit a quotation by the closing date of 30 September 2026.
