The procurement is currently in the planning stage, with a tender deadline set for 12:00 noon on 16 March 2021. This framework will last for five years and will be organised into two geographical lots. The procurement will follow a selective method, specifically a restricted procedure, and interested parties must register on the Council's e-tendering platform to participate. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in arboriculture and tree maintenance services, including tree surveys, young tree maintenance, and tree planting. Companies capable of providing a range of services outlined in the tender description, such as crown reduction and tree felling, would be well-suited to compete. By engaging in this procurement, businesses can not only expand their service offerings but also establish a long-term partnership with a key local authority, potentially leading to further contracts in the public sector. ## Notice The Council wishes to establish a Framework Agreement for the provision of non-PFI tree maintenance. The Council has approximately 736,000 trees within its tree stock on land which it is responsible for.
