Notice Description
The Council is preparing for the planting season winter 2025 - 2026 and is seeking quotations for the supply of 279 trees of various species. This tender is divided into 3 lots. The Council will award 3 separate contracts based on the lowest tendered price for each lot. Each lot contains a distinct list of tree species to be supplied with options for providing substitute trees in accordance with the instructions; instructions on how to price each lot are provided in the price schedule spreadsheet to be completed by all tenderers. Tenderers should complete and return the questionnaire in schedule 4 and the itemised price lists for lots they wish to tender for. Instructions on how to submit tenders is set out in section 2.4. Tenderers can submit tenders for 1 or more lots.
Lot Information
Tree Supply Lot 1
The tree species (and variety or cultivar) detailed in Lot 1 have been selected as they are commonly available in tree nurseries and suppliers.
Tree Supply Lot 2The tree species (and variety or cultivar) detailed in Lot 2 have been selected as they are less commonly available in tree nurseries and suppliers than Lot 1.
Tree Supply Lot 3The tree species detailed in this list have been selected for the purpose of creating a more interesting, robust and diverse urban canopy. We have identified a preferred species suitable for the location and aesthetic outcome but accept that the species may not be in every nursery and that nurseries may have other species that we are unaware of. Therefore an alternative species will be considered acceptable provided it fits the stature and aim of the location.
