## Summary

The Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead Council is initiating a tender process to establish an Arboricultural Works Framework, primarily to provide arboricultural services across the borough. The framework encompasses services such as climbing inspections, tree maintenance, and emergency works along public highways and other borough properties. The tender was published on 7th June 2021 and the call for submissions concluded on 7th July 2021. The contract is valued at £1,120,000 and will commence on 1st February 2022, extending until 31st January 2024.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in tree care and maintenance, particularly small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can demonstrate expertise in arboricultural services. Companies with capabilities in tree-clearing, pruning, pest control, or emergency tree services would be well-suited to compete in this framework. Participating in this project not only allows for ongoing engagement with the local authority but also contributes to the preservation and enhancement of the borough's green spaces, aiming to meet the environmental objectives set forth by the council.
