Summary of the contracting process

Derbyshire County Council is currently in the tender stage of a public procurement process for the "Supply of Tree Stock and Sundries." The aim is to support the county's initiative of planting 1 million trees by 2030, with a target of planting 50,000 trees annually. The council, located in Matlock, UK, is seeking a main supplier for the contract to support this environmental endeavour, with the potential for use by other council departments. The open procedure is being used for this procurement, and the tendering process is active, with submission deadlines on 14th August 2026. The contract is valued at £1,200,000 gross, with significant prospects for supply of goods in the tree-nursery products industry. The procurement's final award decision will conclude by 21st August 2026, and the contract start date is slated for 14th September 2026.

This tender presents a substantial opportunity for businesses that specialise in tree-nursery products, offering possibilities for long-term collaboration with the council and a significant role in an environmentally impactful project. Companies that can supply high-quality tree stock and related products at competitive prices stand a favourable chance. The open procedure method means that this opportunity is widely accessible, particularly to SMEs seeking to expand their client base within the public sector. By aligning with Derbyshire's green objectives, businesses can not only enhance their reputational standing but also secure a substantial contract, potentially renewable, with the public authority.
