Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council procured the supply of 262 young trees of various species for its winter 2026–2027 planting season. This is a goods requirement for a tree nursery or supplier able to source and deliver a mixed selection of trees. The delivery location is Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire (AL8 6AE), the address associated with the council and the listed delivery postcode. The requirement concerns tree supply rather than planting or wider landscaping services.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Hillier Nurseries Ltd. The council used an open procedure. Quotations were due by 2 October 2026, and the award was made on 20 October 2026. The contract period runs from 20 October to 4 December 2026. The published award value is £0, so it does not provide a usable indication of the contract’s commercial value. The requirement was presented as one supply of 262 trees; no separate lots are identified. The available procurement details do not state the evaluation criteria or selection requirements.

For nurseries and tree suppliers, this award evidences Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council’s demand for a batch of young trees in several species to support a seasonal planting programme. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need reliable access to a varied tree stock and the capacity to supply the specified quantity to the council’s delivery location within the required seasonal window. Hillier Nurseries Ltd was selected through an open procedure, showing that the requirement was competed rather than awarded through a restricted or direct route. The award provides a buyer-specific reference point for suppliers whose core business is growing, sourcing or supplying trees; it does not establish a requirement for planting, maintenance or broader landscaping capability.
