## Summary

The procurement process for external improvement works at Tarant Road, initiated by Southampton City Council, is now at the award stage. The tender, classified under the industry category of landscaping work, involves tasks such as converting flower beds and pathways into grass areas, installing eco plastic rails, planting trees, and modifying bin storage. The project is located in Southampton, with a postal code of SO14 7LY, and carries a total contract value of £97,852.68. The procurement was conducted through a selective method via a call-off from a framework agreement, and the contract period spans from 22nd June 2026 to 21st December 2026. The tender period concluded prior to the award on 19th June 2026, with the contract having been officially awarded to Schofield Groundworks Limited on 22nd June 2026.

This project presents significant opportunities for businesses within the landscaping and maintenance sectors, particularly those with expertise in sustainable and low-maintenance environmental improvements. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly suited to this opportunity, especially those capable of delivering innovative solutions in line with the tender's sustainability objectives. Engaging with such contracts not only provides business growth by extending service portfolios but also enables SMEs to solidify local community ties and enhance their reputation with public sector clients, paving the way for future collaborations.

## Notice

1. Remove the overgrown flower beds which run along the back of the building and turn this into a grassed area which will look neater and be easier to maintain 2. Remove the footpath which runs parallel to the back of the building and turn this to grass. We feel that this pathway is not necessarily needed and removing it would help provide more privacy for residents (i.e. by encouraging pedestrians to walk further away from residents' windows). 3. Install eco plastic shin rails to protect the grassed area behind blocks to prevent vehicles parking here. 4. Plant some small trees within this area which are low maintenance and provide biodiversity 5. Bricking up the original bin store, level the ramp and use this area to house the bins.
