Horticulture — Public Tenders
Horticulture in public procurement covers the design, creation, and maintenance of green spaces, cemeteries, sports grounds, and representative outdoor areas. Unlike pure green-space maintenance, horticulture also includes design and construction works such as earthworks, planting design, and the installation of irrigation systems. Public clients are investing more and more in climate-adapted planting and biodiversity projects.

Challenges in finding tenders
In procurement practice, horticultural services are often classified as construction works and awarded under VOB/A, even though they include a substantial service component. The distinction between "landscaping", "garden and landscape construction" (GaLaBau), and "green-space maintenance" is often blurred in contract notices.
In addition, horticultural lots are frequently part of larger building or infrastructure projects and only become visible as separate lots in the tender documents.
