Summary of the contracting process

Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council has awarded a contract under the title "Further Competition for Britannia Park Tree works" within the construction industry category. This project involves various hazardous tree works at Britannia Park, scheduled to start on 9th September 2025 and end on 30th November 2025. It employs a selective procurement method under a restricted procedure. Though the tendering process is complete, it is noteworthy that the initial tender period closed on 4th July 2024. This award, valued at £32,250, represents a significant investment by Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council, located in West Midlands, UK.

This opportunity is ideal for businesses experienced in arboriculture and hazardous tree management. The awarded contract to Midland Forestry Ltd underscores the demand for companies skilled in tree removal and treatment, particularly those adept in handling large-scale works like the removal of Lombardy poplars and stump grinding. Firms within the construction and refurbishment sector can leverage such contracts to extend their service offerings and enhance their portfolio within municipal and public-sector projects, thus facilitating business growth through engagement in sizable, state-funded initiatives. Although this contract has been awarded, similar future contracts could benefit companies seeking to establish or expand a presence in public works.
