Summary of the contracting process

Connexus Homes Limited appointed a tree surveying and data capture service for its estate in Shropshire and Herefordshire. The requirement covers inspection of trees in open spaces and tenants’ front and rear gardens, maintaining the tree inventory, identifying trees that may pose a risk, and recommending arboricultural work to reduce risks in line with good management practice. Connexus manages approximately 6,869 trees, including around 4,018 in open spaces and 2,851 in tenants’ gardens. The work is classified as surveying, tree inspection, tree maintenance, tree-cutting and tree-clearing services (CPV 71355000 and 77211500 among the classifications). The buyer sought one suitably qualified arboricultural consultancy to cover both counties.

The procurement is complete and was run as a below-threshold open competition, with one lot and one supplier selected. Glendale Countryside Ltd received the award, and the contract was signed on 18 August 2026. The contract starts on 24 August 2026 and ends on 23 August 2027, with annual extensions subject to satisfactory performance for up to four additional one-year periods; the maximum extent date is 23 August 2031. The estimated gross procurement value was £130,000, while the awarded contract’s gross value is £41,871. The award basis was 70% quality, assessed through a written submission, and 30% price. Enquiries closed on 6 July 2026 and tender submissions closed on 13 July 2026.

This award indicates demand from a housing provider for planned, geographically broad tree surveying rather than isolated arboricultural call-outs. Suppliers competing for a similar requirement would need qualified arboricultural consultants able to inspect and maintain a mapped tree stock, including trees on public-facing estate land and within tenants’ gardens. Credible delivery would require the ability to identify condition and safety risks consistently, keep inspection data and inventories accurate, and recommend proportionate remedial works that meet accepted arboricultural management practice. The scale calls for operational capacity to cover several thousand trees across two counties, manage repeat inspections on a structured cycle, and provide reliable written evidence for quality-led evaluation. The requirement was suitable for SMEs, although the successful provider was a large organisation.

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.
