UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by Stockton on Tees Borough Council focuses on the Horticultural Supply of Trees Framework, aimed at enabling large-scale tree planting opportunities. This process falls under the 'goods' category in the public authority - sub-central government sector and is specifically relevant to the region UKC1 in the United Kingdom. The tendering process has reached the award stage, with a finalised contract dated 22nd December 2025. The contract commenced on 10th November 2025, with a potential duration extending up to 9th November 2028, including options for renewal. Procurement was executed through a limited competition method, within a framework agreement closed to reopening competition, primarily assessing criteria across price, quality, and social value.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses engaged in horticultural supply, particularly those specialising in trees, as it mandates a collaborative supply chain approach, providing continued business over several years. Large-scale suppliers like Hillier Nurseries Ltd and W.CROWDER & SONS LIMITED were awarded positions on the framework, reflecting strong performance in quality, price, and social value criteria. Businesses with the capability to handle large-scale, region-specific needs in the horticultural sector, and with a strategic focus on sustainability and competitive pricing, will find this an avenue for significant growth and partnership with Stockton on Tees Borough Council.
