## Summary

Boston Borough Council bought spring and summer bedding plants for public planting schemes. The requirement covers barrier baskets, planted beds, towers, hanging baskets and pyramid planters. This is a goods supply opportunity in the horticultural and commercial plant-growing sector, classified under CPV 03451100 for bedding plants. The council is the buyer, while Public Sector Partnership Services Ltd facilitated the procurement process. The named supplier is based in Boston, indicating a locally delivered supply arrangement, although the procurement covers delivery across multiple parts of England. Businesses suited to this requirement would grow, source or supply seasonal bedding plants and be able to provide the specified planting formats for the council’s public spaces.

The procurement is complete and one supplier was awarded the single lot through a below-threshold limited competition. Cheer’s Nurseries Limited was awarded the contract, which was signed on 27 August 2026. The contract runs from 27 August 2026 to 30 June 2029, with an option to extend for one year to 30 June 2030. Its value is £40,000 excluding VAT and £48,000 including VAT. The contract is active and the award is active. Evaluation details are not stated beyond the use of limited competition. The outcome shows that Boston Borough Council selected an SME horticultural supplier for the full requirement rather than dividing the procurement between multiple suppliers or lots.

This procurement is relevant to commercial nurseries, bedding-plant growers and specialist horticultural suppliers able to provide seasonal plants in several established formats, including baskets, beds, towers and pyramid planters. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate reliable production or sourcing of spring and summer bedding plants, consistent quality across a recurring seasonal supply, and the practical ability to fulfil council orders for public planting schemes. The award to Cheer’s Nurseries Limited, an SME based in Boston, shows that the requirement can be delivered by a focused horticultural business rather than only by a large national contractor. Suppliers preparing for a future requirement from this buyer should understand seasonal planting needs, maintain dependable stock and logistics, and compete through a limited-competition route.
