Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Tender for Herefordshire Ash Tree Survey 2024/25: Public Realm and Council Assets" was initiated by Herefordshire Council to address the challenges posed by Ash Die Back. This tender called for a detailed survey of ash trees in Herefordshire to identify their location and condition, specifically assessing the risk to the public. The tender, classified under the agricultural, forestry, horticultural, aquacultural, and apicultural services industry category, was conducted through an open procedure. The initial tender phase began with its publication on 3rd July 2024 and had a submission deadline of 25th July 2024. The awarded contract, valued at £178,000, began on 16th August 2024 and runs until 31st October 2025. The project is located in the West Midlands, England.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in forestry, land surveying, and environmental management, particularly those capable of managing and mitigating the effects of tree diseases like Ash Die Back. SMEs (Small and Medium-sized Enterprises) were particularly encouraged to participate, as the procurement method was open to competition beyond major corporations. Dryad Tree Specialists Ltd, an SME, was awarded the contract, underscoring the potential for similarly sized businesses to succeed in future related tenders. Companies with expertise in arboriculture, public safety, and environmental sustainability will find this procurement process highly relevant to expanding their service offerings and portfolio within public sector contracts.
