The Cosby Parish Council has initiated a competitive procurement process for an "Arboreal Maintenance" contract, expected to run from 1st September 2025 to 31st March 2030. This project falls under the forestry services category and entails the maintenance of arboreal assets across various sites, including Cosby Cemetery, Victory Park, and the village conservation area, alongside the maintenance of Christmas lighting displays. The contract's procurement method is a selective competitive procedure with negotiation. Interested suppliers are invited to submit tenders by 5:00pm on 27th June 2025, with a planned award date by 25th July 2025.
