Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Islington is procuring arboricultural services covering tree planting and post-planting maintenance in Islington. The requirement is for works at sites listed in the procurement files, including planting, watering immediately after planting where required, and ongoing maintenance. The contract also covers the associated tree stock and species details for the sites. It is a services opportunity within repair and maintenance services (CPV 50000000). Suppliers are asked to price all works using a schedule of rates and provide a final total cost. The planting programme is intended to conclude before March and to take place during the relevant planting season. The stated commitment covers three years of planting and maintenance across the listed sites.

This procurement has reached the tender stage: the buyer invited offers through a restricted procedure above the threshold, using a selective procurement method. Bids were required by 22 September 2026 at 02:00. The stated contract period runs from 23 September 2026 at 01:00 to 1 March 2027 at 23:59:59. The requirement refers to works priced by lot, with spreadsheets setting out the values to be bid for each lot. Suppliers must submit a schedule of rates and a final total cost for all the works described. Evaluation also includes a proportionate social value offer, with the detailed offer to be clarified after schedule-of-rates costs are submitted. The opportunity is identified as suitable for SMEs.

This opportunity suits arboricultural contractors able to plan and deliver tree planting, immediate post-planting watering and continuing tree maintenance across multiple Islington sites. Bidders need the operational capacity to price complete site packages through a schedule of rates, manage work by lot, and provide a clear final cost for the full requirement. Relevant experience in planting and maintaining trees, coordinating seasonal works and recording tree stock and species would support a credible response. The buyer also expects a proportionate social value contribution, so suppliers should be prepared to develop an offer alongside their delivery approach. The work may suit small and medium-sized businesses with practical arboricultural teams, site-management capability and enough capacity to service the listed locations.
