Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Islington is procuring arboricultural services covering tree planting and post-planting maintenance in Islington, London. The requirement is for planting at listed sites, followed by a three-year planting and maintenance commitment. Suppliers will be expected to plant the specified trees, provide watering immediately after planting where required, and maintain the planted sites. The work is classified as repair and maintenance services, with tree planting and arboricultural maintenance forming the practical scope. Detailed site information, tree stock, species and locations are to form part of the final work detail. The contract is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to specialist tree-care, landscaping and grounds-maintenance businesses with the resources to deliver planting and aftercare across the identified sites.

This procurement has reached the tender stage: the buyer invited offers through a selective restricted procedure above the applicable threshold. Suppliers were required to submit a schedule of rates and a final total cost for all works detailed in the site files. Offers were due by 23 September 2026 at 02:00. The stated contract period runs from 28 September 2026 to 1 March 2027, while the requirement also describes a three-year planting and maintenance commitment. Planting is to conclude before March and during the relevant planting season. Award will consider the submitted schedule-of-rates costs and final total, together with a proportionate social value offer. The social value proposal could be clarified after schedule-of-rates costs were submitted and did not need to be provided in full at the initial stage.

This opportunity suits arboricultural contractors, tree-planting specialists, landscapers and grounds-maintenance firms able to combine planting with reliable aftercare. Strong bidders will need practical capability in tree installation, watering and post-planting maintenance, together with the operational capacity to work across multiple listed sites in Islington. They should be able to price the complete requirement through a clear schedule of rates and provide a firm overall cost for the works. The successful supplier will also need to develop and deliver the final work detail, including locations, tree stock and species. Businesses able to offer proportionate, deliverable social value alongside technical delivery may be better placed in the award process. The stated SME suitability makes this relevant to established specialist firms as well as larger service providers.
