The tender, identified as WTC/GM-2020, is currently in the active stage and accepts submissions until midnight on 7th August 2020. The total value of the contract is estimated at £460,000, with the contract period set to commence on 1st October 2020 and concluding on 4th October 2024. The procurement follows an open procedure, allowing businesses to compete freely. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses involved in horticultural services, especially those that prioritise conservation techniques. Companies that can creatively integrate environmentally-friendly practices, like the use of wildflowers to attract pollinators, may find themselves particularly well-suited to compete. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community sector entities are encouraged to apply, benefitting from direct engagement with the Council to accurately assess site-specific requirements during the tender process. ## Notice Whitchurch Town Council, Shropshire, is seeking tender submissions for its grounds maintenance contract for all open green spaces and play areas the Council has responsibility for. The Council is keen to support conservation as far as possible and we therefore invite ideas for applicants as to how we can cost-effectively integrate conservation techniques into our public open spaces, eg, more use of wild flowers which could be more attractive to bees and other pollinators. As part of the tender process all applicants are invited to visit Whitchurch and be taken around each site the Council manages to enable accurate proposed costs and services. Please telephone 01948 665761 to make an appointment.
