UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Herefordshire Council commissioned tree management services for work in Herefordshire. The requirement covers tree clearing, tree cutting, tree maintenance, tree pruning and hedge trimming. It is a services contract intended for practical arboricultural work rather than the supply of equipment or construction works. The council is the public-sector buyer, based in Hereford, and the awarded activity is geographically associated with Herefordshire. The requirement was arranged as a single package covering the full tree-works scope. Businesses suited to this opportunity would be specialist arboricultural contractors able to carry out safe, controlled tree operations and ongoing maintenance across the council’s area. The work may suit a local or regional tree-care business with the operational capability to deliver varied vegetation-management tasks for a public authority.

The procurement has been completed and awarded, with an active contract. Herefordshire Council used a selective procedure described as a below-threshold award under a framework. The call-off was non-competitive. AAT Tree Services and Consultancy was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 31 July 2026, with a contract period from 31 July 2026 to 31 August 2026. Its value is £41,560 excluding VAT, or £49,872 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The published procurement records identify tree-clearing, tree-cutting, tree-maintenance, pruning and hedge-trimming services as the awarded scope. The process was below the relevant threshold and linked to a framework arrangement, rather than run as an open competition.

This award demonstrates that Herefordshire Council buys practical arboricultural services through framework-based, below-threshold call-offs. A competitor seeking similar work would need credible capability across tree clearance, tree cutting, tree maintenance, tree pruning and hedge trimming, rather than a narrow single-service offer. The selected supplier is an SME, indicating that a smaller specialist business can be suitable for this type of council requirement. Commercial readiness would include the workforce, equipment, supervision and safe working systems needed to deliver varied tree works reliably for a public authority. Firms should also understand selective framework routes and be positioned to respond to council requirements as they arise. Local knowledge of Herefordshire and the capacity to work across the area would strengthen relevance, while practical evidence of dependable arboricultural delivery would support credibility.
