Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Autumn 2025 South Cambridgeshire PROW Vegetation Clearance" has been completed with an award date of 19th November 2025. The buying organisation, Cambridgeshire County Council, located in Alconbury Weald, Huntingdon, United Kingdom, sought services to clear vegetation along public rights of way in South Cambridgeshire to maintain public access and facilitate annual surface cuts. The procurement method used was an open competition, below the threshold, encouraging a wide range of bids. The contract period runs from 21st October 2025 to 28th February 2026, and the contract was awarded to Golden Tree Surgeons, reflecting an active status across all involved lots. The related industry activity includes planting and maintenance services of green areas and tree pruning and hedge trimming, associated with CPV codes 77310000 and 77340000, respectively.

This procurement presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in horticulture, environmental maintenance, and related service industries. The tender process prioritised not only competitive pricing but also the quality of service, making it suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can offer high-quality maintenance and clearance services. Given the project's regional focus, businesses operating in or near Cambridgeshire with equipped and capable teams stand to significantly benefit and grow from such contract opportunities. Additionally, with the procurement method being open competition below the threshold, it provides a less restrictive entry point for businesses new to public contracts yet capable of delivering specialised environmental services.
