Summary of the contracting process

Bristol City Council has completed a public procurement process through an open procedure for a "Tree and Woodland Maintenance Open Framework," specifically targeting services in agricultural, forestry, horticultural, aquacultural and apicultural sectors. The contract, with a focus on the UKK11 region, was split into two lots: Arboriculture Services and Forestry Services, each valued at £1,620,000 gross, excluding VAT. This procurement aims to establish an open framework agreement for maintaining trees and woodlands across Bristol, with a contract period from 1st June 2026 to 30th September 2027 for Forestry Services and an earlier start for Arboriculture Services in April 2026. The award stage was notable with a pending status formalised by 17th April 2026, with the anticipated signature by 19th May 2026. The contracting authority, Bristol City Council, emphasised electronic submissions through a digital platform, confirming completion under legal basis regulation 2023/54.

This tender represents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the industry. Specifically, the framework's open design allows multiple SMEs to participate and benefit from potential growth avenues by engaging in large-scale public works throughout Bristol. With services split across critical areas of arboriculture and forestry, companies skilled in tree maintenance, woodland care, and mechanised operations are well-suited to compete effectively. SMEs such as Teign Trees and Landscapes South West Limited, Foremost Tree Surgeons Limited, and others have already succeeded in their bids, illustrating promising prospects for businesses with similar capabilities in maintaining and enhancing local ecosystems.
