The procurement is complete and was awarded to Thompson Tree Services (UK) Ltd. It was run as a mini-competition call-off from the ESPO Grounds Maintenance Services framework, under its arboriculture services lot. The award was made on 25 September 2026 for £346,077.22. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 1 April 2027. The submission deadline was 16 March 2026. The published details identify no evaluation criteria, so the basis for selecting the supplier cannot be described.

This award shows demand from Derbyshire County Council for ash dieback works involving tree cutting and maintenance, delivered in the East Midlands through a framework call-off competition. A credible competitor when this requirement returns would need to demonstrate practical arboriculture capability suited to work on ash dieback-affected trees, with the capacity to carry out the required work across the delivery area. The selected supplier is an SME, and the procurement was marked as suitable for SMEs, indicating that businesses of this scale could compete. Suppliers already able to participate through the relevant framework route would be positioned to respond to a similar requirement.
