## Summary

Fife Council has successfully completed an open procurement process for a framework agreement to supply and deliver various horticultural goods, including trees, plants, and shrubs, across the region of Fife. The procurement spanned several categories: Lot 1 for summer bedding, Lot 2 for bulbs, Lot 3 for shrubs and herbaceous plants, Lot 4 for trees, Lot 5 for hanging baskets, and Lot 6 for wildflower seeds. The procurement, initiated as a tender on 3rd February 2025 and moving to the award stage by 5th September 2025, involved an open procurement procedure with a significant focus on quality (60% weight) and price (40% weight). The framework allows for additional purchases in line with Regulation 72 of the Public Contract (Scotland) Regulations 2015.

This tender presents notable opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to engage in long-term supply contracts with a regional authority, boosting their visibility and market footprint. Companies such as those in horticulture, landscaping, and plant nursery sectors would benefit significantly. The awarded contracts were secured by suppliers like Green-Tech Ltd, Craigmarloch Nurseries, Glenmore Nurseries, Pentland Plants Ltd, and J. A. Jones and Sons (Churchtown) Ltd., highlighting the potential for SMEs in similar industries to prosper in public procurement contexts. The framework, which has an option of up to a 12-month extension, provides a stable growth avenue for suppliers, especially in a geographically focused delivery area such as Fife.
