Summary of the contracting process

London Borough of Islington procured arboricultural services for ad-hoc tree removal works across its estates. The requirement sits within repair and maintenance services and concerns practical tree works operations rather than general grounds maintenance. Delivery is associated with Islington, London, for the council’s estate-related needs. The buying organisation is London Borough of Islington. The selected supplier, Hickson Wardle Treecare, is a London-based small business specialising in treecare. This requirement would suit businesses providing professional arboricultural services, particularly those able to carry out tree removal works safely and responsively across an estate portfolio. The work is categorised as services and is intended for an established public-sector estate environment where individual requirements may arise as needed.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a selective restricted procedure above threshold. The contract was awarded to Hickson Wardle Treecare on 17 August 2026 for £3,980. The contract period runs from 18 August 2026 to 18 September 2026. The tender deadline was 17 August 2026 at 12:42. The stated procurement category was repair and maintenance services, with the requirement evaluated through the restricted procedure route. The tender was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award is active, and the contract covers the ad-hoc tree removal requirement for the London Borough of Islington’s estates. The awarded value is stated in pounds sterling and relates to this individual award.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates demand from London Borough of Islington for short-duration, ad-hoc arboricultural work on public estates. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need practical treecare capability, including safe and efficient tree removal operations, and the capacity to respond to individual estate works rather than deliver only a single planned project. Local or London-based operating capability may help with mobilisation and attendance across Islington sites. The buyer’s use of a restricted procedure above threshold indicates that suppliers must be able to satisfy formal public procurement requirements as well as demonstrate relevant operational competence. The award to an SME also shows that a smaller specialist treecare business can meet the buyer’s requirements.
