UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Tonbridge and Malling Borough Council is seeking contractors to carry out tree safety works identified through inspections. The work covers trees in the council’s parks, open spaces, woodlands, cemeteries and other council-owned or managed sites across the borough. This is an arboricultural tree-maintenance service, including work needed to address inspection findings. Suppliers should be able to deliver tree works across a varied portfolio of public spaces and council sites in the Tonbridge and Malling area.

The council invited offers through an open competition under a below-threshold procedure. The procurement has reached tender stage. The enquiry deadline was 2 November 2026 at 12:00, and the offer submission deadline was 9 November 2026 at 12:00. The contract period is scheduled to run from 30 November 2026 to 1 June 2027. The published estimated value is £0, so it does not provide a usable estimate of contract spend. There is one lot, and the stated award basis is cost, weighted at 100%.

The requirement is aimed at qualified, experienced tree-work contractors able to respond to safety inspection findings and work across parks, open spaces, woodland, cemeteries and other managed sites. A supplier needs the operational ability to deliver tree maintenance across multiple locations throughout the borough, rather than at a single site. The council marks the opportunity as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so smaller providers and mission-led organisations may also be relevant competitors if they have the necessary arboricultural skills and capacity. Price is the sole stated evaluation factor, making cost competitiveness central to the bid.
