Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Hackney is currently inviting tenders for its Arboricultural Maintenance & Tree Planting/Post-Planting Management Framework, set to run from 2026 to 2030. This procurement falls under the services category with a focus on tree-maintenance services and related activities. Interested parties must be aware that the expression of interest deadline is scheduled for 4th August 2025, with the enquiry period concluding on 29th July 2025. The procurement process is at the tender stage and employs a two-stage Competitive Flexible Procedure as outlined in the Procurement Act 2023. The aim is to establish a flexible, multi-supplier framework to service the streets, parks, and housing estates across Hackney, supporting public safety, sustainability, and biodiversity goals, with a contract period starting on 1st April 2026.

Businesses specialising in arboricultural services, including tree maintenance and planting activities, will find considerable opportunities within this framework. It is particularly suited for those with the capacity to offer planned and reactive operations on a call-off basis. The competitive nature of the procurement process, which includes evaluation based on both quality and price, encourages participation from businesses that can demonstrate technical expertise and cost-effectiveness. Given the framework’s substantial budget and scope, it represents a significant business growth opportunity for contracting firms skilled in arboriculture and committed to enhancing urban green spaces. Firms looking to capitalise on sustainability initiatives are especially encouraged to apply, given Hackney’s emphasis on biodiversity and environmental stewardship.
