Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Islington is procuring arboricultural services for tree planting and post-planting maintenance in Islington. The work covers the sites listed in the procurement files and is described as a three-year planting and maintenance commitment. Suppliers will be responsible for planting trees, watering them immediately after planting as required, and carrying out subsequent maintenance. The requirement falls within repair and maintenance services, with tree planting and arboricultural maintenance as its practical focus. The buyer expects the final work detail to cover locations, tree stock and species. This is a services opportunity for contractors able to deliver planned tree works across multiple listed sites for Islington.

The process has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through a selective restricted procedure above the threshold. Suppliers were asked to provide a schedule of rates and a final total cost for all works, with spreadsheets setting out the amounts to bid for each lot. Offers were due by 22 September 2026 at 02:00. The stated contract period runs from 23 September 2026 to 1 March 2027, while the description refers to a three-year planting and maintenance commitment. The award will take account of a proportionate social value offer, to be clarified after schedule-of-rates costs are submitted. The opportunity is suitable for SMEs.

This opportunity suits small and medium-sized arboricultural, tree-care and grounds-maintenance contractors with the capacity to deliver planting and follow-on maintenance across the listed Islington sites. Competitors need to price the complete requirement through a schedule of rates and provide a final cost covering all works. Delivery capability should include tree planting, watering immediately after planting when required, and post-planting maintenance. Suppliers should also be able to confirm the relevant work detail, including locations, tree stock and species, as part of accepting the award. A proportionate social value offer is part of the award process, so bidders should be prepared to develop one after submitting their costs.
