## Summary

Kent County Council is currently engaging suppliers through an open procurement process for the "SC22209 - KCC Tree Scheme 2022." The initiative aims to source approximately 1,000 bundles of bare root whips, with an estimated total of 20,000 trees intended for procurement, to be delivered during the 2022/23 planting season. The procurement process is complete, having culminated in an award on 21st July 2022, with a contract value of £40,000. The contract period spans from 1st September 2022 to 31st March 2023, and the delivery will occur in England.

This tender provides significant opportunities for nurseries and other suppliers specialising in agricultural, forestry, and related products. Businesses capable of supplying large volumes of trees, along with biodegradable or plastic-free tree guards and stakes, will find this contract particularly relevant. With sustainable practices being increasingly favoured in public procurement, companies focusing on environmental sustainability and quality horticultural products may have a competitive edge in this sector.

## Notice

Kent County Council are looking for a supplier to supply approximately 1,000 bundles of 10, 20, and 30 bare root whips, that will need to be supplied in the 2022/23 planting season. An estimate calculation for the total maximum trees that could be procured within budget would be 20,000. In addition to the whips, biodegradable or plastic-free tree guards or spirals will need to be supplied, as well as stakes or canes. We are therefore seeking responses from nurseries to supply these trees in line with the requirements of this tender.
