Summary of the contracting process

The City of Edinburgh Council is seeking bids for the "Forestry and Arboriculture Services Framework Agreement" within the public services industry, focusing on tree works across various local council regions in Scotland, including Edinburgh, East Lothian, Midlothian, Fife, West Lothian, and the Scottish Borders. The procurement process is currently in the award stage, having concluded on 2 September 2019. This open procedure allows multiple suppliers to be appointed for a framework lasting four years, with a tender deadline that has recently passed on 24 May 2019. For potential suppliers, electronic submissions were facilitated through the Public Contracts Scotland platform.

This tender presents significant opportunities for SMEs specialising in forestry, arboriculture, and landscaping services. Suppliers capable of providing tree maintenance, emergency works, and related services would be particularly well-placed to compete. The framework agreement stipulates that up to six specialist suppliers may be appointed per lot, creating competitive opportunities for firms with experience in quality service delivery within the public sector. Engaging in this tender may also lead to broader growth, particularly with the potential for community benefits and ongoing contracts over the next several years.
