Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Islington is procuring arboricultural services for tree planting and post-planting maintenance at sites in Islington. The work covers planting trees, watering them immediately after planting when required, and maintaining the planting over a three-year commitment. Suppliers must provide the specified tree stock and species, with the full work detail and locations confirmed as part of accepting the award. The requirement is classified as repair and maintenance services, but its practical focus is public-sector tree planting and arboricultural care. The procurement is for services rather than goods or construction works, and is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through a selective restricted procedure described as above threshold. Bids must include a schedule of rates and a final total cost for all required works, with prices submitted for each lot. The tender deadline set by the buyer is 23 September 2026 at 02:00. The contract period is 28 September 2026 to 1 March 2027. Award decisions will take account of the submitted costs and a proportionate social value offer. The social value proposal can be clarified after schedule-of-rates costs are submitted, but acceptance of the award requires the supplier to provide the full work detail, locations, tree stock and species.

This opportunity suits arboricultural contractors and grounds-maintenance businesses with the practical capability to plant trees and provide reliable aftercare, including watering when required. Relevant suppliers will need to organise labour, equipment, transport and suitable tree stock across multiple Islington sites, while pricing the complete requirement through a schedule of rates and consolidated cost. Experience coordinating planting programmes and maintaining newly planted trees would be useful, as would the capacity to deliver consistent site-based work and document the stock, species and locations supplied. The buyer is seeking a proportionate social value offer, so bidders should be able to propose credible community, employment, training or environmental benefits alongside their core arboricultural service.
