UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Southampton City Council procured tree surgery services comprising health and safety-led tree removals and the processing of removed timber and other material. Delivery uses specialist forestry machinery and covers work associated with tree cutting in Southampton and the wider Hampshire and Isle of Wight area. The requirement is classified as a service rather than goods or construction works. The selected supplier is a specialist tree and forestry contractor, indicating a need for operational capability in safe tree removal, site processing and the use of suitable forestry equipment. The council is the public-sector buyer and the work supports its responsibilities for managing trees and responding to health and safety requirements across its area.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. There was one completed lot. Southampton City Council awarded the contract to RICHARD HALL LIMITED on 25 June 2026. The contract was signed on that date and runs from 25 June 2026 to 31 December 2026. Its value is £125,000 excluding VAT and £150,000 including VAT. The award is active and relates to tree-cutting services. The published evaluation route was therefore a direct, non-competitive appointment rather than an open tender with competing bids. The requirement was awarded as a single package covering the tree removals and associated processing work.

This award demonstrates demand from Southampton City Council for contractors able to deliver safety-critical tree removals and process the resulting material using specialist forestry machinery. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need the equipment, trained workforce and site-management processes to undertake removals safely and efficiently, including handling and processing timber or other arisings. The work is suited to an operational tree surgery or forestry business with the capacity to mobilise locally across Southampton and the surrounding Hampshire and Isle of Wight area. The appointment of a small or medium-sized enterprise also indicates that the requirement can be delivered by an appropriately equipped specialist contractor rather than only by a large national provider.
