## Summary

The Blunsdon Parish Council has initiated a tender process for a groundworks contract in Swindon. The contract involves landscaping tasks to enable tree and flower planting alongside Ermin Street by October. The contract value is £30,000, and the procurement method is open with a deadline for submissions by July 27, 2024. The contract period is scheduled to start on September 1, 2024, and end on October 10, 2024.

This tender offers an opportunity for companies specialised in site preparation works to compete for delivering high-quality landscaping services within a tight time-frame. Businesses capable of providing timely and professional services, among other criteria, are encouraged to bid. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are considered suited for this opportunity, aimed at achieving landscaping improvements for the Blunsdon Parish Council in an efficient and safe manner.

## Notice

We are planting 4,500 trees into public grass verges alongside Ermin Street in winter 2024. Also 7000 flower bulbs, which have to go into the ground October latest. We are also creating and improving wildflower areas. This groundworks contract is to modify the grass verges to enable the planting works. It involves importing large amounts of soil, reprofiling land and digging planting pits through tarmac. Also a few other general landscaping tasks to improve the access. Additional information: This is an open procurement process. The client is Blunsdon Parish Council. We act as their land management consultant organising the work. Once we have received sufficient quotes we will present our results and recommendations to the parish council, who will choose their contractor. We will then oversee the works to completion. We will award the contract to any company who is able to deliver within our required timeframe. We want the work done by early October. Price is also important of course but is not the foremost consideration. We will only work with companies we believe can deliver very high quality results in a timely, safe and professional manner.
