## Summary

The Natural History Museum has awarded a contract for the Urban Nature Project: Plant Procurement to Johnsons Nurseries Limited and Kelways Plants Limited. The contract, valued at £81,803.26 GBP, involves sourcing live plants, bulbs, roots, cuttings, and slips for the museum's gardens in London. The contract period runs from December 16, 2022, to March 31, 2023, with the tender period closing on September 15, 2022. The procurement method used was an open procedure.

This tender presents a business opportunity for horticultural nurseries or plant suppliers looking to work with prestigious institutions like the Natural History Museum. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the plant procurement industry are well-suited to compete for this contract, which aims to enhance the museum's displays and engage a wider audience through the Urban Nature Project.

## 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 was looking to appoint a horticultural nursery to source the plants, store them and care for them until they are ready to be planted.
