Summary of the contracting process

Cumberland Council has finalised the procurement process for the Arboricultural Services Framework aimed at maintaining parks and green spaces within the Cumberland area. This framework, divided into northern and southern regions, addresses both standard and specialist tree works. The procurement followed an open procedure, and significant milestones include an award date of December 9, 2024, and the completion of the tender process on January 6, 2025. The industry category is forestry services, with CPV code 77200000, and the total framework value is estimated at £480,000.

This tender provides numerous opportunities for business growth, especially for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the forestry and horticulture sectors. Particularly appealing to businesses with existing qualifications such as 'Arboricultural Association Approved Contractor' status, the framework’s division into multiple lots allows specialised firms to bid for segments suited to their expertise, such as tree surgery, technical arboricultural work, and stump grinding. The contract demands high quality, social value contributions, and competitive pricing, creating an equitable playing field for experienced local contractors.
