This tender is in the active planning stage and will conclude on 26 February 2018. The services are to be provided across Yorkshire and the Humber, specifically targeting the maintenance and management of various types of trees in the Bradford District. The overall budget for this framework agreement is set at £720,000, and multiple Lots will be awarded to up to five qualified providers for standard and emergency arboricultural services. This procurement presents a significant opportunity for businesses in tree maintenance and related services to expand their operations. Companies specialising in arboriculture, grounds maintenance, and emergency tree services would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. The open procedure method allows for a wide range of businesses, including small to medium-sized enterprises, to partake in a structured bidding process, potentially leading to a stable flow of work under the framework agreement, subject to individual work orders. ## Notice The City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council (the "Council") manages around 18,000 highway trees, 267 hectares of park trees and 590 hectares of woodland trees, providing a high quality "urban forest" to support the Council's objectives of a healthier, caring, more prosperous and sustainable Bradford District Trees in parks, woodlands, highway verges and green space create an attractive and sustainable place where people can live, visit and invest. Trees not only look good, they provide many benefits including habitat for insects, bats and birds, shading from summer sun and shelter from winds, storage of carbon, interception of rain and removal of dust and grime. Without trees the district would be a poorer and less attractive place. The aim of this Framework Agreement is to provide arboriculture services covering, but not limited to: * Pruning and Associated Works * Dismantling * Felling * Stump Removal/Grinding & Treatment * Planting * Emergency Call-Out Provision * Grounds Maintenance * Any other works of a similar nature The Service will be achieved through a Framework Agreement for: The appointment of up to 5 suitably qualified Providers (for each Lot) to provide an arboriculture service across the Council. The Framework Agreement will be divided into two Lots: Lot 1 - Standard Arboricultural Service Lot 2 - Emergency Arboricultural Service Lot 3 - Grounds Maintenance Call Off Contracts will be awarded for each Lot. The successful Bidders will be required to undertake all the activities (by Lot) within the scope and coverage of the Framework Agreement. There is no guarantee of any work under this Framework Agreement and Providers will only be paid for work agreed and completed via a Work Order. Some work will have special requirements e.g. use of a Mobile Elevated Work Platforms (MEWP). ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/25333d8d-b5fd-4255-88fa-ac2c3afa27da | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 21 Feb 2018 | | Submission deadline | 26 Feb 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 15 Apr 2018 - 1 Apr 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £720,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | BRADFORD METROPOLITAN DISTRICT COUNCIL | | Locality | BRADFORD | | Post town | Bradford | | Postcode | BD1 1HX | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE4 West Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE41 Bradford | | Local authority | Bradford | | Electoral ward | City | | Westminster constituency | Bradford West | | Delivery location | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 77 - Agricultural, forestry, horticultural, aquacultural and apicultural services ### Codes - 77000000 - Agricultural, forestry, horticultural, aquacultural and apicultural services - 77211300 - Tree-clearing services - 77211400 - Tree-cutting services - 77211500 - Tree-maintenance services - 77211600 - Tree seeding - 77340000 - Tree pruning and hedge trimming - 77341000 - Tree pruning ## Release History - 21 Feb 2018 at 10:01 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/25333d8d-b5fd-4255-88fa-ac2c3afa27da ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/25333d8d-b5fd-4255-88fa-ac2c3afa27da 21st February 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=888dfbf4-ec16-e811-80ea-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - http://www.bradford.gov.uk/bmdc ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
