## Summary

The Wigan Council is inviting tenders for the construction of Covid Memorial Sites in England. The procurement process involves a two-stage restricted tender through 'The Chest'. Landscape contractors specialising in this work are sought after. The contract value is £350,000 GBP, with a tender deadline on 8th September 2023. The contract period starts on 1st December 2023 until 31st March 2024. This opportunity falls under the industry category of Agricultural, farming, fishing, forestry, construction work, and related services. The procurement method is 'selective', utilising the 'Restricted procedure'.

This tender by Wigan Council presents an opportunity for landscape contractors and related businesses to secure a government contract for constructing Covid Memorial Sites. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprise (VCSE) organisations are encouraged to participate. The suitable businesses should have expertise in landscape construction, financial stability, and prior experience in similar projects. Engaging in this tender process can facilitate business growth and establish valuable connections within the public procurement sector.

## Notice

The project will be delivered by Wigan Council with all contracts procured and executed by the Authority. The construction contract will be procured through a two stage restricted tender utilising 'The Chest' as a tool to advertise and administer the process. Our aim is to appoint Landscape contractors who specialise in this work. A two-stage procurement process is proposed for the construction contract. Stage one will invite contractors to express interest against a pre-qualification questionnaire focused on their financial standing, insurance levels, resources, and past experience. PQQ's returned will be evaluated by a panel compromised of Council officers and members of the consultant team. A minimum of four applicants will be shortlisted to tender.
