Seasonal Flower Bed and Planter Maintenance Services

West Bedlington Town Council is seeking experienced suppliers to provide comprehensive seasonal planting and maintenance services for flower beds, planters, and planted areas throughout the council area. Services include bed preparation, planting of summer and winter schemes, establishment watering, routine inspection and cleaning, weed and litter removal, and ongoing maintenance. The supplier must visit all identified locations at least twice monthly during the growing season, maintain detailed records of work completed, and report any issues promptly. Suppliers may bid for flower beds only, planters only, or both. The Council requires reliable, good-quality, cost-effective service with clear communication protocols, health and safety compliance, and environmental best practices. Planting typically occurs in May/June for summer schemes and September/October for winter schemes. All plants must be healthy, suitable for their locations, and properly spaced and planted. Additional services such as extra watering beyond establishment can be priced separately by agreement.
