## Summary

Shropshire Council has opened a tender for the improvement of a pond and wildlife area at its Day Service for Adults with Learning Disabilities. Located in Shrewsbury, UK, this project falls under the grounds maintenance services category. The process is currently in the tender stage with a deadline for quote submission by 10th October 2025, aiming for project completion by 31st March 2026. The project is funded by the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, offering a total budget of £24,000. Interested parties are invited to submit quotes through an open, below-threshold competition method and must include a site visit for quoting purposes. Potential contractors need to engage the service attendees in the project safely.

This tender represents an excellent opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) in the grounds maintenance sector to expand their portfolios. Ideal candidates for this project are those with relevant experience in ecological site development, who can provide competitive pricing, have solid project management capabilities, and possess the necessary insurance cover. The opportunity allows businesses to strengthen community ties by involving service users in the project work, hence fostering community engagement and inclusion.

## Notice

We are a Shropshire Council run Day Service for Adults with Learning Disabilities and have been fortunate to gain some funding from the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund and would like an area of our site to be revitalised and improved. This would involve pond clearing, ground clearance to incorporate a pathway around the area. Anyone considering quoting would be asked to include the involvement of the individuals who attend the service in the project when safe to do so. All individual's involvement would be supported by staff members. This is a great opportunity to improve our wildlife area and for everyone who visits to enjoy the space and take pride it. For all prospective quotes we would ask that you attend site, for which an appointment will be required - please contact Julie Cartwright to arrange Julie.cartwright@shropshire.gov.uk All works will need to be completed and payment made by 31st March 2026. Please note a maximum of PS24,000 is available to complete these works. Please refer to the quotation document for full details.
