What is being bought

Published requirement description

Manchester City Council is looking to procure a framework for Provision of Fencing, Street Furniture and Landscaping Works.

TC030 serves as a vital framework to deliver specialist landscaping, fencing, and street furniture works in support of the Highways Maintenance Service throughout the entire city.

This contract encompasses a broad spectrum of activities, ensuring that all enhancements to the public highway environment are carried out with professionalism and attention to detail.

By establishing clear standards for quality and compliance, TC030 guarantees that every project, whether it involves planting, erecting fences, or installing street furniture is completed to the highest specifications.

The successful tenderer will become an integral part of the service, working in close collaboration with the Highways Maintenance team to ensure consistent and high-quality delivery across all public spaces.

These works not only improve the safety and functionality of highways and public areas but also contribute to the overall visual character and appeal of the city. Through TC030, the city benefits from a unified approach to maintenance and improvement, supporting a welcoming and resilient urban landscape for all residents and visitors.

How this framework works

From the published notice
Type
Closed framework
Call-offs
call-offs are awarded directly to appointed suppliers, without further competition
Places
up to 2 suppliers · 2 appointed (full)
Framework period
3 yrs · up to 4 yrs from 29 Jun 2026
Published description of the framework

The framework will operate as a multi-supplier framework agreement with two appointed contractors.

Call-off contracts will be awarded without further competition. For each requirement, the Council will apply the pricing schedule submitted at tender stage to the relevant quantities of work to identify the lowest priced supplier. The supplier offering the lowest price will be contacted to confirm their availability to deliver the works.

Where the lowest priced supplier is unable to undertake the works, the Council will approach the next lowest priced supplier, and so on until a supplier is confirmed.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 40 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 4 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
  • “TC030 Provision of Fencing, Street Furniture and Landscaping Works” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 2 suppliers, not a single contract, and call-offs are awarded directly: getting appointed is the whole game.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
