## Summary

Newcastle City Council commissioned refurbishment of the courtyard garden at the Connie Lewcock Rehabilitation Centre in Lemington, Newcastle upon Tyne. The works are intended to improve access and safety for people using the rehabilitation centre, including those with mobility issues. The scope covers new tarmac surfacing, drainage improvements, tree planting, wildflower and grass seeding, and associated landscaping. This is a small, site-specific external works project combining hard landscaping, drainage and planting. The work is delivered at the rehabilitation centre in Newcastle upon Tyne.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Newcastle City Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition; the requirement was handled as a single lot. Brambledown Landscape Services Limited was selected, and the contract was signed on 22 September 2026. The contract period runs from 23 September to 30 November 2026. Its value is £45,000 excluding VAT and £54,000 including VAT. The award record identifies landscaping work, but does not state a separate evaluation or award-criteria basis. This was a completed award rather than a competitive tender, so the outcome does not provide a comparison of bids or suppliers.

For landscaping and external works contractors, this award demonstrates Newcastle City Council’s demand for accessible, safe courtyard improvements at a rehabilitation facility. A credible supplier for a similar requirement would need to deliver coordinated hard and soft landscaping, including durable surfacing, drainage, tree planting, seeding and associated site works. The setting makes practical experience of designing or carrying out improvements for users with mobility needs particularly relevant: routes and surfaces must support safe, accessible use. The project was delivered as a single, relatively contained package, so suppliers should be able to manage the full combination of tasks and coordinate work on a live care or rehabilitation site. Brambledown Landscape Services Limited, an SME, was selected through a below-threshold direct award without competition; this outcome shows the buyer used that route for this procurement.
