Summary of the contracting process

London Borough of Islington procured arboricultural services for tree works operations, specifically the removal of dead trees from Islington parks. This is a services contract within the broader repair and maintenance category. The work is delivered in Islington, London, for the council’s parks estate. The requirement is suited to businesses that provide practical tree-care and arboricultural operations, including the safe assessment, removal and handling of dead trees in public open spaces. The named buyer is London Borough of Islington. The procurement concerns a focused operational requirement rather than a broad programme of general grounds maintenance, so relevant suppliers are those with direct experience of tree works and the equipment and workforce needed to carry them out safely in parks and other public areas.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded on 21 August 2026 following a selective restricted procedure above the applicable threshold. The submission deadline was 17 August 2026 at 12:00. Hickson Wardle Treecare was awarded the contract for £1,350. The contract period runs from 18 August 2026 to 18 September 2026. The tender was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award is active. The procurement was for services, with the stated evaluation and selection route being the restricted procedure. The award covers the dead tree removal and tree works operations described for Islington parks. The recorded contract dates begin shortly before the award was published, indicating that delivery was intended to start during the same month as the award decision.

For a competing supplier, this award demonstrates that London Borough of Islington uses a restricted route to source focused arboricultural work for its parks and that the requirement can be delivered by an SME-sized tree-care business. A credible future competitor would need practical capability in dead tree removal and related tree works, with suitable staff, equipment and operational controls for work in public parks. Experience of working safely around park users, paths, public assets and other council-managed land would strengthen a supplier’s position, alongside the ability to mobilise for short, defined assignments. Businesses that already provide professional tree-care operations in London may find this buyer and requirement relevant when monitoring comparable council work. The opportunity is particularly aligned with specialist arboricultural contractors rather than general maintenance providers.
