Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Islington, the buying organisation, is seeking arboricultural services specifically for lime and ornamental tree works, including epicormic growth removal. The tender, titled "Arboricultural services - Tree works operations", falls under the "Repair and maintenance services" category with a CPV code of 50000000. The procurement process utilized a selective method, following a restricted procedure above the threshold. Key dates include the tender end on 28 May 2026 and the contract period from 1 June 2026 to 10 July 2026. This process, now in the award stage, was completed with the awarding of the contract to Longacre Tree Surgery Limited.

This procurement offers significant growth opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in tree surgery and maintenance services, particularly those capable of handling projects involving selective tree work operations. Businesses experienced in municipal projects and familiar with the restricted procedure can find this contract beneficial due to the opportunity it presents to establish a working relationship with a prominent local authority such as the London Borough of Islington. Furthermore, the contract encourages the participation of SMEs, thereby creating an advantageous environment for smaller, specialised businesses seeking to expand their portfolio in public sector tenders.
