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 work covers sites listed in the procurement files and involves a three-year planting and maintenance commitment. Suppliers must complete planting before March and during the relevant planting season, then provide watering immediately after planting where required. The requirement includes the full delivery of the specified works, with the final award expected to confirm work details, locations, tree stock and species. This is a services contract focused on maintaining and expanding the borough’s tree stock, rather than a supply-only purchase. The stated classification is repair and maintenance services (CPV 50000000). The opportunity is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The process has reached tender: the buyer invited offers using a selective, restricted procedure above the threshold. Bids were due by 22 September 2026 at 02:00 (UTC+01:00). The contract period is set from 23 September 2026 at 01:00 (UTC+01:00) to 1 March 2027 at 23:59:59 UTC. Suppliers are asked to provide a schedule of rates and a final total cost for all works, with spreadsheets setting out the amounts to be bid for each lot. Award assessment will include the submitted costs and a proportionate social value offer. The social value proposal can be clarified after schedule-of-rates costs are submitted and does not need to be submitted in full at the initial stage.

This opportunity suits arboricultural contractors, tree-care companies and landscape businesses able to deliver planting and follow-on maintenance across multiple Islington sites. Relevant capability includes planning and carrying out tree planting, identifying and supplying appropriate tree stock and species, and providing prompt post-planting watering when required. Suppliers should be able to price detailed works through a schedule of rates and produce a consolidated final cost covering the required sites and activities. The requirement favours businesses with practical delivery capacity, reliable maintenance teams and experience managing planting programmes through the relevant season. It is expressly suitable for SMEs. A proportionate social value offer will form part of the final award process, so bidders should also be able to propose credible community or wider social benefits.
