NOTICE OF MOTION UNDER STANDING ORDER 13 At the budget meeting in February 2021, the Council agreed to a saving of £10,000 to stop the nursery growing service. It was agreed that spring and summer bedding plants would still be provided by being sourced externally. The previous decision was taken with the best intention, but due to changes in market and circumstances it has not been successful in practice.

Carrying out a full procurement exercise only resulted in securing a supplier for the summer bedding and not both the spring and summer beddings. Officers are asked to give consideration to the future arrangements for the delivery of planting across Argyll and Bute, with particular reference to the unique circumstances of Rothesay which was served by Ardencraig, and bring a report back to EDI on 31st August, on options that could be delivered for 2024.
