Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Islington procured arboricultural services for general tree maintenance in Highbury Ward. The work covers tree works operations, specifically pruning and felling under the Highbury Ward highways requirement. It is a public-sector tree maintenance and repair service delivered in Islington, London. The procurement is categorised as services, with the associated classification describing repair and maintenance services. It is relevant to businesses providing arboricultural, tree surgery and related tree management services, particularly those able to undertake both routine maintenance and operational pruning or felling work for a local authority. The buyer is the London Borough of Islington, whose wider responsibility includes maintaining public highways and the surrounding municipal environment.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a selective procurement method through a restricted procedure above the applicable threshold. The deadline for submissions was 18 August 2026 at 12:36. The contract was awarded to Longacre Tree Surgery Limited on 21 August 2026 for £82,500. The awarded contract period runs from 19 August 2026 to 19 October 2026. The published tender period and contract dates show a short operational engagement covering the immediate delivery of the Highbury Ward tree works. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award is active, and Longacre Tree Surgery Limited is the selected supplier.

For competing arboricultural and tree surgery businesses, this award demonstrates a defined local-authority requirement for combined tree maintenance, pruning and felling in Highbury Ward. It also shows that Islington uses a selective restricted route for this type of above-threshold service, so future credibility would depend on being able to meet formal participation requirements and compete through that route. Suitable suppliers would need practical arboricultural capability, safe and efficient tree-work operations, and sufficient staff, equipment and management capacity to deliver a concentrated programme for a municipal buyer. Small and medium-sized businesses are expressly considered suitable, making this requirement relevant to established specialist firms with comparable local-authority delivery experience.
