## Summary

The Natural History Museum is inviting tenders for its Urban Nature Project, specifically for plant procurement, with a budget of £150,000. This open procurement process aims to appoint a horticultural nursery responsible for sourcing, storing, and caring for plants to enhance the museum's 5-acre garden area in London. The tender is currently active and submissions are due by 27 January 2022, with the contract expected to start on 1 March 2022 and run until 31 August 2023.

This opportunity is ideal for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) in the horticultural sector. Businesses that specialise in live plants, bulbs, and horticultural services will find this tender particularly suitable for growth, as it involves significant engagement with the public and contributes to enhancing the natural environment around a prominent cultural institution.

## Notice

The Natural History Museum is looking to help transform the study of natural history, engage and involve the widest possible audience, and develop our galleries and grounds. Our priority project is the Urban Nature Project, which involves the transformation of the 5-acres of gardens outside the Waterhouse Building. A major feature of the new design will be a new planting scheme. The NHM is looking to appoint a horticultural nursery to source the plants, store them and care for them until they are ready to be planted.
