This public procurement record has 2 releases in its history.

Summary of the contracting process

The Highland Council is currently engaged in the procurement of tree survey services under the title "Tree Survey Services Framework 2017". This initiative falls within the general public services sector and is based in the Highlands of Scotland. The procurement process is currently in the Tender stage, with the submission deadline set for 13th September 2017. The total estimated value of the framework is £100,000. The procurement method employed is an open procedure, and the services required include detailed assessments, encapsulating bat surveys, with works likely to be distributed across multiple smaller assignments over the contract period.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in environmental services, particularly those with expertise in arboriculture and ecological surveying. Businesses that possess the necessary certifications, technical competencies, and access to specialist equipment required for bat and tree assessments would be particularly well-suited to compete for this framework. With the possibility for work contributions over two years and further extensions, successful bidders could significantly enhance their business growth and visibility within the public sector.
