Summary of the contracting process

Mosscare St Vincent's Housing Group Limited, based in Manchester, has initiated a comprehensive procurement process for "Arboricultural Services and Associated Works", aiming to establish a framework for various tree-related works, including hedge pruning, stump removal, and emergency intervention services in the UK, specifically within the regions of UKD36, UKD3, and UKD. This procurement process has seen the "Award" stage completed as of 20th May 2026, following the "Tender" stage, which concluded on 18th March 2026. The open procedure was used for the tender, following the legal framework under UKPGA 2023/54, and involved setting up a closed framework agreement with the option for reopening competition. The contract is valued at £300,000, with a commencement date of 1st June 2026 and a possible extension up to 31st May 2030, contingent upon satisfactory performance.

This contract presents a notable opportunity for businesses within the tree maintenance and landscaping industry, particularly those capable of providing swift and reliable emergency response services. The successful award to suppliers such as Sherratt Landscape Contractors Limited and others suggests that SMEs are competitive for this framework, given that five out of the six suppliers are SMEs. Businesses with expertise in providing comprehensive arboricultural services and those familiar with delivering under framework agreements in the public sector will find this contract an excellent opportunity to expand their portfolio and build a strong relationship with Mosscare St Vincent's Housing Group Limited. Additionally, companies with a focus on innovative and effective tree management solutions are well-suited to benefit from such contracts.
