Summary of the contracting process

Petersfield Town Council is procuring tree surgery and tree-safety services, classified as forestry services (CPV 77200000), across 14 sites in Petersfield. The work covers approximately 180 trees, including felling, clearance of hazardous and diseased trees, dead-wood removal, crown reduction or lifting, and site clearance after chainsaw operations. Some lots also require nest-box installation, footpath closures and traffic management using stop/go boards, traffic lights and a banksman. Contractors may need to use towed, self-propelled tracked or wheeled chippers with trained operatives. Sites include Petersfield Heath, Rotherlands Nature Reserve, Bell Hill Recreation Ground and Common, Borough Hill, Goodyer Meadow, High Meadow, Love Lane, Ramshill Estate, Penns Farm, Paddock Way, Tilmore Allotments, Woods Meadow and Avenue Pavillion.

The process reached tender: the council invited offers through an open, below-threshold competition. Electronic submission by email was allowed, and tenders were due by 24 September 2026 at 23:59:59. The contract period starts on 1 October 2026. Lot end dates run from 30 October to 24 December 2026. The overall estimated value is £44,500 gross, including £14,000 for Petersfield Heath, £10,000 for Bell Hill Recreation Ground, £5,000 for Ramshill Estate, £4,000 for Bell Hill Common, £3,000 for Rotherlands, £2,500 for Penns Farm, £1,800 for High Meadow, £1,500 for Love Lane, £1,000 for Goodyer Meadow, £500 for Borough Hill and £300 each for Paddock Way, Tilmore Allotments, Woods Meadow and Avenue Pavillion. Four equally weighted criteria apply: experience, skills and qualifications, ease of communication, cost, and locality to the area.

This opportunity suits tree surgeons, arboricultural contractors and forestry-service businesses able to carry out safety-critical work in public spaces. Relevant capability includes safe chainsaw operations, tree felling, hazardous and diseased-tree clearance, dead-wood removal, crown reduction and crown lifting. Suppliers should be able to manage footpath closures and, where required, traffic control with stop/go boards, traffic lights and a banksman. Access to towed or self-propelled tracked or wheeled chippers, together with trained operatives, is needed for several sites. Experience, skills and qualifications are assessed alongside communication, price and locality, so firms with a demonstrable local operating base and clear client communication may be well placed. The 14 lots allow contractors to target individual sites, including smaller single-tree tasks, or pursue a broader programme of work.
