What is being bought

Published requirement description

We are a Shropshire Council run Day Service for Adults with Learning Disabilities and have been fortunate to gain some funding from the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund and would like an area of our site to be revitalised and improved. This would involve pond clearing, ground clearance to incorporate a pathway around the area. Anyone considering quoting would be asked to include the involvement of the individuals who attend the service in the project when safe to do so. All individual's involvement would be supported by staff members.

This is a great opportunity to improve our wildlife area and for everyone who visits to enjoy the space and take pride it.

For all prospective quotes we would ask that you attend site, for which an appointment will be required - please contact Julie Cartwright to arrange Julie.cartwright@shropshire.gov.uk

All works will need to be completed and payment made by 31st March 2026.

Please note a maximum of £24,000 is available to complete these works.
