## Summary

Chepstow Town Council, acting as the buying organisation, is initiating a tender for a project titled "Community Growing Space - Thornwell, Chepstow," within the services category. The objective is to transform an overgrown site near Thornwell School, Chepstow, into a community garden with designated growing plots and a shared area. This tender is at the 'tender' stage and invites submissions via an open procurement method. Key dates to note include the enquiry period ending on 22nd May 2026, and the tender submission deadline on 29th May 2026. The project, valued at approximately £49,999.99, is slated to begin on 1st August 2026 and conclude by 31st March 2027. The procurement is aligned with Welsh devolved regulations, promoting community engagement and sustainable design within the region identified as UKL21 under local government jurisdiction.

This tender presents an opportunity for landscape designers with experience in developing community and horticultural spaces to expand their business. The ideal candidate will be a small or medium-sized enterprise (SME) possessing expertise in creating sustainable and accessible garden designs. The competition's weightings favour technical ability, quality, and sustainability at 70%, alongside cost at 30%. Interested businesses can benefit from enhanced visibility and credibility by collaborating with a public authority like Chepstow Town Council. Furthermore, participation could lead to future projects given the increased emphasis on community development and sustainable living within public sector procurement in the region.
