UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council is buying cut Christmas trees for delivery to various locations across its borough. This is a goods requirement covering the supply and delivery of Christmas trees, rather than tree planting, landscaping or ongoing grounds maintenance. The procurement is relevant to businesses that supply Christmas trees and can arrange delivery to multiple council locations. The buyer is a Northern Ireland sub-central public authority based in Craigavon. The requirement is presented as one consolidated supply opportunity, so suppliers should consider whether they can provide the required trees and coordinate deliveries across the council area as a single service.

The procurement has reached tender: the council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. The deadline for enquiries was 11 September 2026 at 12:00, and the deadline for offers was 18 September 2026 at 12:00. The contract period is 1 to 30 November 2026, with the option of two further 12-month renewal periods; the maximum possible end date is 30 November 2028. The estimated value is £192,000 gross. There is one lot. Offers will be evaluated on price, weighted at 80%, and quality, weighted at 20%. Electronic submission is allowed, using the council’s specified online tendering route.

This opportunity suits businesses with an established supply of cut Christmas trees and the operational ability to deliver them to various locations across the Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council area. The main commercial requirement is reliable seasonal supply combined with coordinated delivery during November. Suppliers should be able to manage a single council-wide requirement rather than an isolated delivery, and should assess whether their stock, distribution arrangements and seasonal capacity can support the contract period and potential renewal periods. The evaluation places greater emphasis on price than quality, so commercially competitive suppliers with a clear, dependable delivery service are well placed to compete.
