Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The South Hams District Council is currently in the planning stage of a public procurement process for a service titled "SOFT MARKET TEST: Tree Inspections." This initiative is aimed at exploring the outsourcing of tree inspection services which were previously managed in-house. The primary location for service delivery is the South West region of England. Interested parties should note that the engagement end date is set for 4th February 2022, with further details available through early engagement documentation published on 20th January 2022.

This tender presents an opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in tree maintenance services to potentially engage with local councils. Companies that provide services related to tree inspections and maintenance could find this opportunity particularly advantageous as it may lead to future contracts aimed at improving the management of public green spaces. Competitors that have experience in delivering similar services and can demonstrate their capacity to fulfil these needs will be well-positioned to benefit from this procurement process.

Notice Information

Notice Title

SOFT MARKET TEST: Tree Inspections

Notice Description

Previously, South Hams District Council and West Devon Borough Council employed this service in house. The work was then segregated across a team. However, this is now proving to be a challenge and we are looking into whether we can outsource these services. South Hams District Council and West Devon Borough Council are looking at the possibility of releasing a future tender regarding tree inspection.
