## Summary

The procurement process was conducted by The North Yorkshire Council for the acquisition of compost to be utilised at the Horticultural Nursery in Harrogate. The tender was classified under the "goods" category and aligns with the horticulture and market gardening industry, with its legal basis in the UK Parliamentary Act 2023/54. The council used a direct procurement method, choosing a process below the threshold without competition. The contract was awarded on 31st March 2025, with a start date of 1st April 2025, and it runs until 31st March 2026. Located in Northallerton, The North Yorkshire Council serves as the buying organisation, while East Riding Horticulture, based in Sutton On Derwent, York, was appointed as the supplier for this contract.

This contract presents a distinct opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) within the horticulture or agricultural supply chain industry, especially those capable of providing similar goods or services. The direct appointment of East Riding Horticulture underscores the potential for growth and collaboration with local government bodies for businesses in the horticultural supplies domain. Companies of similar size and capability could explore partnerships or prepare for future procurement needs from local authorities across the UK. This also highlights the importance of entities keeping abreast of public sector procurement opportunities that match their products and services.
