Tender Opportunity – Memorial Garden Project
TENDER OPPORTUNITY – MEMORIAL GARDEN PROJECT
Prudhoe Town Council is inviting tenders for the design and installation of a Memorial Garden at Old Edgewell Cemetery.
Old Edgewell Cemetery holds deep historical significance for our community, including war graves and many early twentieth-century burials. While some graves no longer receive floral tributes, they remain an important part of Prudhoe’s shared heritage and collective memory.
Project Vision
The Council proposes creating an attractive, low-maintenance memorial garden on the grassed area to the north of the chapel (separated from existing graves by the roadway).
The project aims to:
• Create a peaceful and contemplative space for reflection and remembrance
• Enhance biodiversity through native planting
• Improve the overall appearance of the cemetery while respecting its historic character
• Provide a tranquil setting that complements the significance of the site
Scope of Works
The appointed contractor will be required to:
• Undertake a comprehensive site survey and assessment
• Prepare a detailed landscape design incorporating native perennial planting
• Consider heritage fruit tree varieties and other low-maintenance, biodiversity-friendly species
• Ensure designs complement existing planting beds and surrounding features
• Deliver all works with minimal environmental impact
All works will take place at Old Edgewell Cemetery, Prudhoe
Closing date for submissions is 12 noon on Friday 4 September 2026
We welcome submissions from experienced landscape designers and contractors who share our commitment to heritage, biodiversity, and community spaces.
Should you require any further information or clarification, please contact the Town Clerk by email at clerk@prudhoetowncouncil.gov.uk
