Summary of the contracting process

Southwater Parish Council is procuring tree works across its open spaces and woodland in the parish of Southwater. The work covers activities identified in an independent tree survey carried out in July 2026, with the successful contractor required to complete the scheduled works in accordance with the specification and work schedule. The contract is classified as works in the forestry and related land-management sector. Delivery will take place at the council’s sites in Southwater, including locations identified on accompanying maps covering the north, central and south areas. This opportunity is therefore relevant to tree surgery, arboricultural and forestry contractors able to work across multiple parish open-space and woodland locations.

The process reached the tender stage: Southwater Parish Council invited offers through an open procedure below the threshold. Tender submissions were due by 29 September 2026 at 9:00am. The contract period is 26 November 2026 to 28 February 2027. Its estimated value is between £15,000 and £45,000, both in GBP. The procurement covers the works scheduled by the July 2026 tree survey and set out in the Invitation to Tender, including the accompanying schedule, specification, maps and map addendum. The requirement is presented as a single works contract rather than separate lots. The council has identified the opportunity as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

This opportunity suits established arboricultural, tree surgery and forestry businesses with the practical capability to deliver scheduled tree works in open spaces and woodland. Suppliers should be able to interpret an independent tree survey, work from a detailed schedule and specification, and use site maps to plan and complete tasks across several locations. The contract is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to smaller specialist contractors as well as larger tree-work firms with appropriate teams and equipment. Businesses with experience managing planned woodland or public open-space works, coordinating activity across multiple sites and delivering work to a defined technical specification are well placed to compete.
