Summary of the contracting process

Worcestershire County Council has initiated the "PL0317 Urban Tree Challenge Fund - Highway Tree Planting" procurement process to appoint a contractor for the planting and maintenance of 179 standard-sized trees in urban areas of the West Midlands, including Worcestershire. This tender, classified under "Tree-maintenance services" (CPV: 77211500), aims to increase tree cover in designated sites, particularly in areas of deprivation, low canopy cover, and within 50 metres of educational and healthcare facilities. The procurement process, currently at the tender stage, is open and below the threshold. Potential bidders must express interest and submit required documents by 9:00 AM on 17 January 2025, with the contract period starting on 14 February 2025 and concluding on 31 March 2028. This opportunity is particularly suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in horticultural and tree-maintenance services to expand their portfolio and secure long-term maintenance contracts. Small and medium-sized enterprises with expertise in urban tree planting and maintenance would be especially well-suited to compete, given the contract's emphasis on increasing tree cover in strategic urban locations. Participation in such a structured and publicly funded initiative could enhance a company's credentials and provide stable revenue streams over the three-year maintenance period.
