Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Islington is seeking arboricultural services covering tree planting and post-planting maintenance in Islington. The work includes planting trees at identified sites, watering immediately after planting when required, and maintaining the planting for a stated three-year commitment. Contractors will need to provide the required tree stock and species, together with the detailed work and location information associated with each site. This is a services requirement, classified under repair and maintenance services (CPV 50000000). The opportunity is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. It is relevant to arboricultural contractors, tree planting specialists, landscape maintenance businesses and firms able to manage planting programmes across multiple sites.

The process has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through a selective restricted procedure above the threshold. Bids were required by 18 September 2026 at 03:00, and the contract period is stated as 23 September 2026 to 1 March 2027. The requirement covers a three-year planting and maintenance commitment, while the published contract period sets these start and end dates. Suppliers must submit a schedule of rates and a final total cost for all specified works, with bid pricing shown per lot. Award will consider the priced work and a proportionate social value offer. The social value proposal could be clarified after schedule-of-rates costs were submitted, and acceptance requires full work details, locations, tree stock and species.

This opportunity suits contractors with practical arboricultural capability, including tree planting, establishment care, watering and planned post-planting maintenance. Businesses should be able to interpret site requirements, identify suitable tree stock and species, price work through a schedule of rates, and coordinate delivery across the listed Islington sites. The requirement is also appropriate for smaller firms able to manage a defined planting and maintenance programme, either directly or through a suitable delivery team. A proportionate social value offer forms part of the final award process, so bidders should be able to propose credible community or local-benefit activity alongside the core works. Firms experienced in public-sector landscaping, urban tree programmes or grounds maintenance are likely to be well placed.
