Oakham Town Council FLORAL DISPLAYS tenders 2012 - 2015

Oakham Town Council FLORAL DISPLAYS tenders 
2012 - 2015

The Council is seeking quotations for the Town's floral displays for the four year period from 
2012 - 2015.

A copy of the tender document is available to download here or a hard copy is available from the Town Council offices.

The Clerk says this contract is too big for any local garden centre to be interested in. I do not believe any company would not be interested in this lucrative contract.

In the past it has always been awarded to a former assistant town clerk and over the years the cost to the council had risen to a unbelievable level. Average price of a basket £165!

Before getting kicked of the council I passed on a request from the new owner of Greetham Garden Centre.

The watering contract last year was slightly less than the previous year, but this was then sub contracted back to a local company so clearly the council is still being over charged.
