Summary of the contracting process

The Cambridge City Council has successfully completed the procurement process for a Framework Agreement for Arboricultural Services, set to run from 2021 to 2025. The procurement falls within the industry category of Forestry and Logging Products, specifically focusing on tree maintenance, planting, and establishment services across Cambridge. It was conducted through an open procurement method, resulting in a framework that enables ongoing service requests. The awarded contracts amount to approximately £700,000, with the procurement process initiated on 30 June 2021 and completed on 26 October 2021.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the arboricultural and landscaping sectors, particularly those accredited by the Arboricultural Association. Companies specialising in emergency tree maintenance, routine upkeep, and tree planting services would benefit greatly from this framework. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) alongside larger organisations can leverage this opportunity, as multiple suppliers are anticipated for each service lot, thus fostering competition and collaboration in providing vital urban forestry services to the community.
