Summary of the contracting process

London Borough of Wandsworth procured tree supply, tree planting and aftercare services jointly for Wandsworth and the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. The requirement covers high-quality tree stock from Standard to Heavy Standard size, together with professional planting and ongoing aftercare. Work takes place across council-owned highways, parks, cemeteries and housing estates, supporting urban greening and environmental sustainability. The procurement is divided into four separate contracts: tree supply for Wandsworth, tree supply for Richmond, tree planting and aftercare for Wandsworth, and tree planting and aftercare for Richmond. The main category is horticultural and arboricultural services, including tree nursery products, tree planting, green-area maintenance and parks maintenance.

The procurement is complete and all four lots have been awarded. Hillier Nurseries Ltd won tree supply for Wandsworth at £804,765.60 excluding VAT and Richmond at £639,457.84 excluding VAT. Glendale Countryside Ltd won tree planting and aftercare for Wandsworth at £4,125,726.40 excluding VAT and Richmond at £3,551,053.76 excluding VAT. Awards were made on 21 January 2026 and contracts were signed on 25 February 2026. Each contract runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2030, with an option to extend to 31 March 2034. The procedure was an above-threshold open procedure. Tenders closed on 3 October 2025, with enquiries closing on 19 September 2025. Evaluation used price, quality and social value: supply lots were weighted 70%, 20% and 10%; planting lots 60%, 30% and 10%.

This procurement demonstrates sustained demand from two London boroughs for both commercial tree nursery supply and managed planting and aftercare. Suitable competitors would need reliable access to Standard and Heavy Standard tree stock, robust horticultural supply chains, and the operational capacity to deliver across highways, parks, cemeteries and housing estates. Planting specialists would also need strong methodology, tree establishment and maintenance capability, supported by relevant experience. The evaluation placed substantial emphasis on quality as well as price, particularly for planting and aftercare, so evidence of dependable delivery and technical competence would be important. Social value capability also matters, including credible low-carbon outcomes, waste management and apprenticeship commitments. The lots were identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, although the recorded competition included 16 bids for each supply lot and one final-stage bid for Wandsworth planting.
