Glasshouses Tenders and Contracts

A glasshouse tender is a public sector contract to design, build, supply or install a glasshouse or greenhouse structure. Buyers use them for projects at parks, gardens, prisons, universities and other public sites.

Stotles brings together glasshouse tenders and contracts from 100+ portals into one search, so you do not have to check each portal separately, and you can set alerts for new opportunities across the UK and Ireland.

If you want to search the government portals directly, Find a Tender carries higher-value contracts across the UK and Contracts Finder carries lower-value contracts in England. Public Contracts Scotland, Sell2Wales and eTendersNI cover Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, Ireland's eTenders covers Irish public bodies, and many councils, NHS bodies and housing associations publish on their own e-tendering portals such as ProContract. Heritage glasshouse projects are announced through preliminary market engagement before formal tender, and smaller replacements are let by councils on their own portals.

Glasshouse construction brings duties under the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015, and heritage glasshouses need listed building consent and conservation methods. Tenders usually set minimum insurance cover, check financial standing and ask for evidence of similar projects at selection stage. Under the Procurement Act 2023, suppliers can be excluded for certain criminal convictions, insolvency or failure to pay tax.

Local councils, universities, national heritage and parks bodies, and central government departments have issued glasshouse tenders. Contracts cover small garden greenhouses and larger horticultural or institutional glasshouse projects.

Read heritage conservation plans, botanic garden capital programmes, research facility upgrades and preliminary market engagement notices, which show glasshouse work coming due ahead of a notice. On Stotles you can track those signals and the buyers behind them, then follow a notice from pre-tender through to award.

Glasshouse notices carry 44211500 (Glasshouses) and 45453100 (Refurbishment work).
