Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Islington is procuring arboricultural services for tree planting and post-planting maintenance across sites in Islington. The requirement covers planting trees, watering them immediately after planting where needed, and maintaining the planted stock. The work is described as a three-year planting and maintenance commitment, with site details, tree stock and species to be confirmed in the final work detail. Suppliers must provide a schedule of rates and a final cost covering all required works. The procurement is categorised as repair and maintenance services, although the practical requirement is specialist tree planting and arboricultural maintenance. This opportunity is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises with the operational ability to deliver work across multiple local sites.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers using a selective, restricted procedure for an above-threshold contract. Bids were due by 23 September 2026 at 02:14. The stated contract period runs from 28 September 2026 to 1 March 2027. Suppliers are required to submit a schedule of rates and a final total cost for all works. The award process includes a proportionate social value offer; this is to be clarified after schedule-of-rates costs are submitted and forms part of the final award process. The requirement is divided into lots, with spreadsheets setting out the values to be bid for per lot. The procurement is a services contract, and the evaluation will consider cost alongside the social value offer.

This opportunity suits arboricultural contractors and specialist tree-care businesses able to undertake planting, immediate follow-up watering and post-planting maintenance. Suitable suppliers will need practical expertise in establishing and caring for trees across multiple sites, together with the workforce, equipment and scheduling capacity to deliver the required works. The requirement calls for a clear schedule of rates and a consolidated costing, so bidders should be able to price varied site activities consistently and manage delivery against detailed work information. Experience of identifying or working with different tree stock and species is relevant, as these details form part of the final work specification. SMEs are specifically identified as suitable. Bidders must also develop a proportionate social value offer for the final award process.
