## Summary

The Poynton Town Council has initiated a public procurement process for a Tree Maintenance Work contract, categorised under "Tree-maintenance services" with the CPV code 77211500. This opportunity focuses on planned and reactive tree management and other arboriculture services across various sites, including Coppice Road Allotments, Brecon Play Area, Civic Hall, Hockley Park, and Lady's Incline. The procurement stage moved to the award phase on 17 February 2025, where the contract was awarded to Swift Tree Services for a value of £15,000. The contract period is set from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2028, following the completion of the tender process in which quotations were due by 31 January 2025. This open procurement, valued between £10,000 and £15,000, uses an open procedure above the threshold.

This procurement presents significant growth opportunities for SME businesses specialising in tree maintenance services, especially those with the ability to handle both planned and emergency work. Businesses with relevant experience and credentials, including the ability to obtain licences for tree works from Local Planning Authorities and highways, will find this tender particularly suitable. The contract also requires firms to adhere to British Standards, demonstrate environmental and sustainability credentials, and maintain appropriate risk management practices. Companies securing a place on the Poynton Town Council's Approved Contractors List will gain the potential to access a three-year programme of ongoing and ad-hoc tree management services, enhancing their market presence and expanding service offerings within the specified locales.
