Official UK procurement notice
Urban Nature Project: Plant Procurement
Authority: Natural History Museum (Central government)
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionThe Natural History Museum is looking to help transform the study of natural history, engage and involve the widest possible audience, and develop our galleries and grounds. Our priority project is the Urban Nature Project, which involves the transformation of the 5-acres of gardens outside the Waterhouse Building. A major feature of the new design will be a new planting scheme. The NHM was looking to appoint a horticultural nursery to source the plants, store them and care for them until they are ready to be planted.
CPV: Live plants, bulbs, roots, cuttings and slips
