Summary of the contracting process

Stroud District Council bought tree surveying services for delivery in the South West of England. The requirement is for surveying trees; the procurement gives no further description of the survey work or its intended use. It was procured as a service through a call-off from a framework agreement, rather than as a standalone competition. The selected supplier, Glendale Countryside Ltd, is a large countryside services business. The buyer is Stroud District Council, based in Stroud. The contract concerns tree surveying, not general horticultural services, so it is most relevant to businesses able to undertake tree surveys for a local authority in the South West.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Glendale Countryside Ltd. The award date was 27 August 2026, and the contract runs from 27 August 2026 to 31 March 2030. The awarded contract value is £90,000. The estimated tender value was also £90,000. The work was called off from a framework agreement using a selective procurement method. The stated tender deadline was 1 April 2026. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. No lot breakdown, eligibility requirements or evaluation criteria are recorded, so the award information does not show whether the contract was judged on price, quality or a combination of factors.

This award shows that Stroud District Council buys tree surveying through a framework call-off, with a contract awarded to a large specialist supplier. For a future requirement of this kind, a credible competitor would need to demonstrate the practical ability and capacity to survey trees across the South West and deliver work for a local authority. The award provides no stated accreditation, technical standard, staffing level or specific survey methodology to use as a benchmark, so businesses should focus on matching the tree-surveying requirement and the scale evidenced by the contract. The procurement was marked as suitable for SMEs, indicating that smaller firms were considered suitable to participate in this framework-based route.
