Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Islington is seeking arboricultural services for tree planting and post-planting maintenance in Islington, London. The requirement covers planting trees at specified sites, followed by maintenance over a three-year commitment. Planting is intended to be completed before March and during the relevant planting season, with watering immediately after planting where required. The successful supplier will be expected to provide the full work detail, including locations, tree stock and species, as part of accepting the award. The work is categorised as repair and maintenance services, with tree planting and aftercare as the practical focus. Spreadsheets set out the works and prices to be bid for by lot, and suppliers must provide a schedule of rates and a final overall cost.

This procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through a selective restricted procedure above the threshold. Bids were due by 23 September 2026 at 02:00. The stated contract period runs from 28 September 2026 to 1 March 2027. The tender asks suppliers to price all specified works by lot using a schedule of rates and to provide a final total cost. A proportionate social value offer will form part of the final award process; its full detail is to be clarified after schedule-of-rates costs are submitted. The requirement is identified as a services procurement and is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Acceptance of the award includes confirming detailed work, locations, tree stock and species.

This opportunity suits arboricultural contractors and tree-care businesses able to deliver planting and sustained aftercare across multiple Islington sites. Relevant capability includes sourcing and installing suitable tree stock, working to site-specific planting requirements, and providing prompt watering after planting when needed. Suppliers should be able to organise labour, equipment, materials and visits across the programme, maintain trees after installation, and price individual work lots through a clear schedule of rates. The requirement is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so it may fit an established local tree-care firm as well as a larger specialist contractor. Bidders should also be prepared to develop a proportionate social value offer and provide detailed information on proposed locations, stock and species.
