Summary of the contracting process

Ongo Homes is buying tree management services for its housing portfolio in North Lincolnshire and surrounding areas, covering residential and communal sites. The work is split into two lots. Tree works include planned, reactive and emergency services: pruning and crown management, felling, stump treatment, tree replacement and related maintenance. Tree surveying covers inspections, condition surveys and risk assessments, plus tree inventory management, reporting and recommendations to support statutory compliance and proactive management. This is a services contract for arboriculture and tree maintenance (CPV 77211500). Suppliers can compete for practical tree-work delivery, surveying, or both areas of expertise, although no supplier may be awarded more than one lot.

The buyer invited offers through an open competitive flexible procedure, with a staged process moving from selection and advertisement to tender, standstill and award. The tender submission deadline was 18 November 2026 at 12:00 UTC; enquiries were due by 10 November 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The planned contract period is 15 March 2027 to 14 March 2030, with three possible 12-month extensions. The estimated value is £2,646,723.96 gross overall: £2,500,275.96 for tree works and £146,448 for surveying, both gross. Each lot is scored equally on quality and price, 50% each. Lot 1 requires a completed selection questionnaire and evidence of business quality standards, accreditations and relevant experience; technical selection follows the tender requirements.

This opportunity is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises as well as voluntary, community and social enterprises. Tree-work contractors with the capability to deliver planned programmes alongside reactive and emergency call-outs may fit Lot 1, particularly those experienced in pruning, crown management, felling, stump treatment and tree replacement across residential and communal sites. Tree consultants or surveying firms with experience in inspections, condition assessment, risk assessment, inventory management and clear reporting may fit Lot 2. Lot 1 expressly calls for evidence of business quality standards, accreditations and relevant experience, and technical suitability is assessed against the tender requirements. Surveying suppliers should be positioned to support statutory compliance and proactive tree management. The work spans a varied housing portfolio, and bidders should choose a lot aligned with their delivery capacity and specialist skills.
