Summary of the contracting process

The City of Edinburgh Council awarded contracts for the Supply of Trees and Ancillary Items on 23rd January 2023 through a limited procurement method. The procurement process involved three lots, with Lot 1 and Lot 2 being awarded directly due to the lack of successful tenderers in the initial open tender process. The buying organisation, The City of Edinburgh Council, sought suppliers for different types of trees and ancillary items. The procurement process was carried out in the region of Edinburgh, UK, and falls under the goods category.

This tender for the Supply of Trees and Ancillary Items by The City of Edinburgh Council provides opportunities for businesses specializing in tree supply and related items. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the tree and landscaping industry would be well-suited to compete for these contracts. The Council's intention to direct award Lots 1 and 2 presents a chance for suppliers to engage directly with the authority and provide quality products to meet the specified requirements, leading to potential business growth in the local Edinburgh market.

Procurement Information

A previous open tender procedure was carried out for this requirement (notice reference: 678818). Zero tenders were returned initially for Lot 1 - Supply of Transplants, Whips, & Feathered Trees and two tenders were returned for Lot 2 - Supply of Standard Trees & Other Trees however following evaluation both failed to pass the Council's pre-set threshold for quality. Lot 3 was responded to, evaluated and awarded. As this previous tender exercise failed to produce any successful tenders for both Lots 1 and 2 and the Council had demonstrated competition, the Council will award the Lots directly to the suppliers indicated in this notice.
