Summary of the contracting process

VIVID Housing Ltd procured tree surveys and associated tree and horticultural works across its operating area. The requirement covers landscaping, tree cutting, tree maintenance and wider horticultural services, including the survey and practical work needed to manage trees and related outdoor areas. The procurement is classified as works. The stated delivery locations are in Ireland, covering the regions of Ireland identified in the requirement. The buyer is VIVID Housing Ltd, based in Portsmouth. The scope was arranged as a single requirement and is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. It is relevant to businesses providing arboricultural surveys, tree surgery, tree maintenance, landscaping or related horticultural services, particularly those able to operate across the buyer’s service area.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold open competition. Seven bids reached the final stage, including four from SMEs. RTT Services South Limited was awarded the single requirement on 23 June 2026. The awarded value is £3,300,000 excluding VAT and £3,960,000 including VAT. The awarded contract period runs from 4 January 2027 to 3 January 2031, with one optional 24-month extension taking the maximum end date to 3 January 2033. The tender’s submission deadline was 27 May 2026 at 12:00, after an enquiry deadline of 20 May 2026 at 12:00. Evaluation weighted quality at 60% and cost at 40%. A contract signature milestone was scheduled for 27 November 2026.

This award demonstrates substantial, recurring demand from a housing provider for combined tree surveying, tree cutting, tree maintenance, landscaping and horticultural delivery. A credible future competitor would need to provide arboricultural surveying alongside safe, competent practical tree work, with the operational capacity to cover the buyer’s service area in Ireland. The successful route rewarded quality more heavily than cost, so suppliers should be able to evidence robust methods, dependable service delivery, experienced staff and effective management of tree-related risks, rather than compete on price alone. The opportunity attracted seven final-stage bids, including four from SMEs, indicating that smaller specialist firms can participate. Businesses able to combine survey expertise with responsive maintenance and wider grounds capability would be well placed for this buyer’s requirement when it next returns to market.
