This procurement falls under the agricultural and horticultural services industry and is located in the East Midlands region of the United Kingdom. The procurement is currently in the Tender stage, with submissions due by 15 June 2018. The contract will begin on 1 August 2018 and run for two years, with an optional extension for another two years. The procurement method utilised is an open procedure, allowing any qualified supplier to submit a bid. This tender presents significant opportunities for growth, particularly for businesses specialising in the supply of nursery stock, including ornamental, exotic, and native tree species. Suppliers that can offer a range of tree sizes and types, particularly advanced nursery standards, will be well-suited for this contract. The flexibility of the order fulfilment, which may vary year to year, accommodates both small and medium enterprises (SMEs), allowing them to cater to the fluctuating demands of Leicester City Council while providing a chance to establish a long-term partnership with a local authority. ## Notice Leicester City Council is seeking supplier(s) of nursery stock trees suitable for planting in urban open spaces and on the highway. This will fulfil the Council's commitment to carry out ongoing replacement planting and, in some instances, to undertake schemes of new planting. Planting sites will be varied, ranging from formal or ornamental to informal, and from high to low visitor/use pressure. As such there will be a requirement for ornamentals and exotics, as well as native species. The successful supplier(s) will be able to supply and deliver a variety of production types, species and sizes although the main demand will be for advanced nursery standards, typically container grown, and 16-18mm stem size. Supply will be on an "as required" basis. Demand will vary from year to year so there will be no fixed expenditure over the period of the contract. Orders may be made from up to several seasons in advance, down to shorter notice requests for delivery within several weeks. The supplier(s) must be able to source stock types requested by the Authority, should this become necessary. The supplier(s) must also be able to deliver stock, maintaining it in good condition, to the Council's depot. The proposed contract will be for 2 years with the option to extend for up to two years. We anticipate awarding to multiple suppliers. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7648951b-0562-4172-9db8-95cae0f4e1a5 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 18 May 2018 | | Submission deadline | 15 Jun 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Jul 2018 - 1 Aug 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | LEICESTER CITY COUNCIL | | Locality | LEICESTER | | Post town | Leicester | | Postcode | LE1 1FZ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF2 Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire | | ITL 3 | TLF21 Leicester | | Local authority | Leicester | | Electoral ward | Castle | | Westminster constituency | Leicester South | | Delivery location | TLF East Midlands (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 77 - Agricultural, forestry, horticultural, aquacultural and apicultural services ### Codes - 77000000 - Agricultural, forestry, horticultural, aquacultural and apicultural services ## Release History - 18 May 2018 at 07:31 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7648951b-0562-4172-9db8-95cae0f4e1a5 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7648951b-0562-4172-9db8-95cae0f4e1a5 18th May 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.leicester.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
