## Summary

The procurement process for the "Bedding Plants 2025" contract was conducted by Cheshire West and Chester Council, a sub-central government public authority in the UK. This open competition sought suppliers for horticultural and nursery products to be delivered across Cheshire West and Chester. The tender process, initiated on 13th September 2025, concluded with the contract awarded to Walkers Nurseries Chester Ltd on 31st October 2025. The procurement method utilised was below threshold with an open approach, enabling a wide range of suppliers to participate. The contract period spans from 1st November 2025 to 31st October 2028, with an option to extend by 12 months.

This tender presents significant opportunities for suppliers specialising in horticultural products to expand their business within the UKD region, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntarily, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). The award to Walkers Nurseries Chester Ltd, an SME, highlights the openness of the tender to well-suited smaller enterprises aiming to penetrate or grow their local market presence. Businesses capable of delivering high-quality goods at competitive prices, especially in the horticulture sector, stand to benefit considerably from future opportunities as the Council may continue to invest in local suppliers aligning with their procurement needs.
