Summary of the contracting process

Winchester City Council has completed the tender process for the "TMF 2 - Tree Management Framework 2025 - 2029" and awarded contracts within this framework to manage approximately 45,000 trees across the Winchester District. This multisource framework will engage six suppliers over a period of four years, starting 1 January 2025, through a restricted procedure. The procurement, with an estimated value between £300,000 to £1,000,000, focuses on tree-maintenance services. The framework agreement, which began on 22 April 2025, coincides with the council's aim to enhance the ecological and social landscape while addressing future pressures like climate change. Key suppliers include ALAN BRIND TREE SERVICES and Christopher Hoare Tree Services Ltd, among others, operating across regions such as UKJ35.

The Tree Management Framework offers substantial opportunities for SMEs specialising in tree maintenance and related ecological services, making it ideal for businesses looking to establish or expand their presence in the South of England. By engaging closely with the council's in-house surveyors and utilising a cloud-based order system, suppliers can streamline their operations and enhance service delivery. Businesses capable of providing comprehensive tree care solutions, including emergency responses and environmental enhancements, stand a strong chance to benefit from such collaborations, boosting their market reach and service portfolio. The framework not only addresses routine maintenance but also supports ad-hoc responsive works, offering a versatile engagement platform for dedicated tree management firms.
