## Summary

Taunton Town Council procured fencing and associated installation works for public parks and open spaces in Taunton. The requirement covers the installation, maintenance and removal of fencing, including knee rail, post and rail, and V-mesh fencing. It also includes installing and removing pedestrian gates and farmers’ gates, posts and bollards. The appointed contractor is responsible for sourcing the materials and tools needed to complete the work. This is a works contract in the fencing, railing and safety equipment installation sector, including wire-mesh fencing, gates, posts and bollards. The work is intended to be carried out on an as-needed basis across the council’s public open-space estate in the South West of England.

The procurement has been completed following an open procedure. The contract was awarded on 4 September 2026 to Upton Specialised Tree Services Ltd for £57,000. The contract period runs from 12 October 2026 to 11 October 2030. The tender submission deadline was 6 July 2026 at 12:00. The arrangement is for a preferred contractor to quote for and carry out fencing-related work when required, rather than for a single defined installation. The published outcome records one active award to the named supplier. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the procurement category was works. The award covers the full fencing, gates, posts and bollards requirement.

This award indicates an established requirement for a contractor able to respond to varied fencing jobs across public parks and open spaces, including planned maintenance, removals and new installations. A credible competitor would need practical experience with knee rail, post and rail and V-mesh fencing, together with pedestrian and farmers’ gates, posts and bollards. The work also calls for the operational capacity to handle jobs on an as-needed basis, quote accurately for individual requirements and coordinate materials, tools and site activity without relying on the council to provide them. The buyer’s stated suitability for SMEs indicates that a capable smaller fencing or grounds-maintenance business could be well placed, provided it can demonstrate reliable delivery across the full range of required fencing work.
