## Summary

The procurement process for "WHC - Tree Supply 2025 - AWARD" was conducted by Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council. The contract is specifically categorized under the industry of "Trees" (CPV: 03452000) and involves the supply of 271 trees of various species. Situated in Welwyn Garden City, Herts, United Kingdom, the council employed an open procurement method.
