Summary of the contracting process

The most recent contracting process, concluding on 8th September 2025, involved Karbon Homes as the buying organisation. Located in Newcastle, United Kingdom, Karbon Homes required Tree Surveying & Assessment Services across its estates, classified under services in the industry category of surveying and forestry. This tender process, identified as an open competition below threshold, culminated in the award of a contract to DRYAD TREE SPECIALISTS LIMITED. The contract includes comprehensive tree survey and assessment services, running initially from 25th August 2025 to 24th August 2027, with the potential extension to 2029. The chosen procurement method was 'open', catering to sub-central government needs, and involved services delivered across regions UKC and UKE.

This opportunity presents significant growth potential for businesses within the surveying and environmental services industry. Specific for firms adept at delivering arboricultural surveys and assessments, the contract is suited to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as evidenced by the conclusion with DRYAD TREE SPECIALISTS LIMITED, an SME. Companies specialising in horticultural or forestry-related services, particularly those skilled in risk assessment and management, would find aligning with such tenders a strategic move. The contract’s substantial duration and extension opportunities further underscore its potential for stable revenue growth and sectoral influence over several years.
