## Summary

Somerset Council commissioned external works at Little Oaks Nursery following the demolition of an existing building. The requirement was to complete the project by installing an external play area, including landscaping work for playgrounds. This is a construction and landscaping opportunity rather than a supply-only contract, with the work taking place in Somerset. The buying organisation is Somerset Council, a local public authority based in Taunton. The requirement covers the nursery’s outdoor environment and the practical completion of the site after the former building was removed. Businesses relevant to this requirement include playground landscapers, groundworks contractors and contractors able to deliver external nursery or school play areas.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to SOMERSET LANDSCAPES LIMITED. Somerset Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The award was made on 26 August 2026. One lot was awarded, covering the external works and play-area landscaping. The contract was signed on 26 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 30 September 2026. Its value is £34,633 excluding VAT, or £42,600 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The selected supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise. The procurement was classified as works, specifically landscaping work for playgrounds.

For a supplier that did not win this contract, the award indicates that Somerset Council buys small, defined packages of external works to complete nursery projects after demolition or redevelopment. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need practical experience designing and installing external play areas, carrying out playground landscaping and completing works safely in an occupied or education-related setting. Relevant capability may include site preparation, surfacing, planting or other landscape construction, coordination with the nursery or project team, and reliable delivery of a short construction programme. The successful supplier was a Somerset-based SME, showing that a locally established landscaping business can be suited to this type of council requirement and scale.
