Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process was initiated by Flintshire County Council, a sub-central government public authority in the United Kingdom, under the framework agreement titled "Tree Maintenance Service Framework Agreement". This contract focuses on the services sector, specifically tree-maintenance services, within the Flintshire County (UKL23). The process followed an open procedure, through which multiple suppliers were awarded, including Greengrass Services Ltd, Sherratt Landscape Contractors Limited, TREEFELLERS LIMITED, and LEVERETT CONTRACTING LIMITED. The procurement stage has been completed, and the contract is active from 24th October 2025, expected to run until 5th October 2027, with a possible extension up to 2029. The gross value of this contract is £750,000.

This tender creates substantial opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) engaged in tree maintenance and related services. Businesses with expertise in tree surgery, especially those experienced in handling emergency works following adverse weather conditions, will find this contract appealing. Operating within the Welsh devolved regulatory framework, Floriculture or landscape maintenance companies with regional operational capabilities have the potential for business growth through this agreement by providing high-quality services and competitive rates. The framework allows for further competition within scheduled rates, offering room for strategic expansion and building long-term relationships with a local council authority.
