Notice Title

Tree Surveying and Data Capture Services

Notice Description

The aim of this tender is to appoint a single tree surveying company to inspect all of Connexus' Trees across Shropshire and Herefordshire including trees in our tenant's gardens. The rationale of the tree survey is to not only to maintain the inventory, but also to identify any trees posing any risk and to recommend arboricultural works to reduce any such risk to an acceptable level and in line with good arboricultural management. Connexus are seeking submissions from suitably qualified Arboricultural Consultants to undertake this work. Connexus requires its tree stock to be re-inspected on a 5-year programme, in line with its Inspection Regimes, to assess condition. Connexus' tree stock has been mapped, and annual inspections have taken place since then in line with the Inspection Regimes. Connexus currently manages an estimated total of approximately 6,869 trees across Shropshire and Herefordshire. Of these, approximately 4,018 trees are located in open spaces, with a further estimated 2,851 trees located in tenants' front and rear gardens. These figures are indicative estimates only and should not be regarded as definitive.
