Summary of the contracting process

Cambridge City Council is initiating a framework agreement for Arboricultural Services, covering the period from 2021 to 2025, with a total contract value of £975,000. The procurement process is currently in the award stage, having been published on 15th December 2020. The council manages over 25,000 trees in the East of England, and the services will address a wide range of tree maintenance, planting, and establishment tasks. This open procedure is divided into three lots, with specific requirements for emergency response times and minimum supplier participation for each lot.

This opportunity is particularly suited for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) engaged in arboriculture and landscaping. Businesses providing tree maintenance and planting services can effectively compete for this work, as the framework accommodates varying tasks from emergency interventions to planned maintenance schedules. Local suppliers within Cambridge and the broader East of England region may find this a lucrative opportunity to expand their service offerings and establish long-term partnerships with the council.
