## Summary

South Holland District Council procured spring and summer bedding plants and baskets for its seasonal planting schemes. The requirement covers the supply of bedding plants and related planting products, including seeders, planters or transplanters under the associated classification. Delivery was required across England, covering locations from the North East and North West through Yorkshire and the Midlands to London, the South East and the South West. The council is the buying organisation, with Public Sector Partnership Services Ltd facilitating the procurement. This is a goods requirement suited to nurseries, commercial growers, horticultural wholesalers and suppliers able to provide assorted bedding plants and baskets for public-space planting programmes across a wide geographic area.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was awarded to Glenside Nurseries Limited on 3 September 2026. The active contract was signed on 3 September 2026 and runs from 3 September 2026 to 31 July 2029, with an option to extend for one further year, up to 31 July 2030. Its value is £40,000 excluding VAT, or £48,000 including VAT. The award was for the full bedding-plant and basket requirement. The published information identifies a limited competition rather than an open procedure; detailed scoring or weighting criteria are not stated in the procurement information.

This award shows established demand from South Holland District Council for seasonal bedding plants and baskets, supplied as a single requirement rather than divided into multiple lots. A credible future competitor would need reliable commercial growing or wholesale capacity, the ability to provide a varied range of bedding plants and baskets, and dependable fulfilment across a broad English delivery area. Suppliers should also be able to support both spring and summer planting schemes, coordinate deliveries to public-sector requirements and compete through a below-threshold limited-competition route. The incumbent is an SME nursery, indicating that specialist horticultural businesses can meet the requirement without being a large national contractor. Relevant experience in supplying councils, parks or other public planting programmes would strengthen credibility.
