## Summary

Dundee City Council bought planters for City Square in Dundee city centre. The requirement covered the purchase of planters for the City Square public realm, with delivery to City Square, Dundee. This is a goods procurement involving manufactured or supplied landscaping and streetscape furniture rather than installation, construction or ongoing maintenance services. The procurement is categorised under CPV 39290000, covering miscellaneous furnishings and related items. The council was the buying organisation and the requirement was handled for its City Square project. Businesses relevant to this type of work include manufacturers, distributors and specialist suppliers of outdoor planters, civic landscape furniture and durable public-realm furnishings. The scale and specification would suit suppliers able to provide a defined batch of robust products for an urban civic setting.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Hardscape Products Ltd, with an active contract signed on 4 May 2026. The contract value is £69,722.58. There was one bid for the single lot, and it came from an SME. Dundee City Council used a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. Its stated route was a competitive request-for-quotation exercise conducted directly with a number of suppliers, outside the formal Public Contracts Scotland procurement process and not through Procurement Services. The requirement was treated as outside the scope of the relevant directive and was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The award relates to the completed purchase of City Square planters; no contract end date or duration is stated in the process.

This award is useful market evidence for suppliers of public-realm planters, commercial landscaping products and civic streetscape furnishings. A credible competitor for similar Dundee requirements would need to supply durable outdoor products suitable for a prominent city-centre location, meet the council’s design and specification requirements, and manage delivery of a defined product order to Dundee. The successful supplier was an SME, showing that the requirement was accessible to a specialist small or medium-sized business rather than only a major national contractor. The route to award also indicates that direct competitive quotation was important: suppliers would need to be identifiable to the client department, responsive to quotation requests and able to provide clear pricing and product information. Experience supplying councils, town-centre improvements or comparable public spaces would strengthen credibility.
