## Summary

The Central Bedfordshire Council (CBC) has awarded a contract titled "CBC-0912-H-CE Tree Strategy" for the development of a Tree Strategy in support of the CBC Local Plan 2035. This services contract, classified under research and development consultancy services, was active from 1 November 2018 and runs until 31 March 2019. The contract was awarded on 31 October 2018, with an outstanding value of £9,590. The procurement process was initiated as a tender, with interested parties required to submit their quotations through the In-Tend electronic tendering system by the deadline of 12:00 noon on 14 September 2018, and any questions regarding the tender needed to be submitted by 11 September 2018.

This tender presents an opportunity for consultancy firms specialising in environmental research and urban planning to engage with the local government and contribute to enhancing tree cover in Central Bedfordshire. Businesses focused on ecological assessment, forestry consultancy, and strategies for urban greening would be particularly well-suited to compete for future opportunities arising from this initiative. Collaborating with the Central Bedfordshire Council can significantly bolster a firm’s portfolio and visibility in the public sector, particularly as environmental sustainability remains a key focus in public policy.

## Notice

Central Bedfordshire Council (CBC) wishes to appoint appropriate consultants to develop a Tree Strategy to support the CBC Local Plan 2035 (LP). CBC recognises the importance of woodlands, trees and hedgerows as key features within the rural and urban environments. Not only do they add colour, life and interest, they enhance the sense of place, protect the environment, provide habitats and improve quality of life. Central Bedfordshire has a relatively low level of woodland and tree cover and this limited resource is under threat from disease, development and climate change. Central Bedfordshire has a number of important tree collections, historic parklands and trees planted to commemorate events which contribute to its present day character. It is also home to the Forest of Marston Vale, one of 12 Community Forests nationally. The primary purpose of the brief is to produce a Tree Strategy that reviews the existing tree cover and identify threats and opportunities for enhancing, extending and protecting tree cover across Central Bedfordshire, taking into account local and national policies and guidance. Completed Quotations and attachments should be submitted electronically by the due date via our 'In-Tend' electronic tendering system. Quotations must be uploaded via the 'My Return' section of the system. Quotations submitted via the 'Correspondence' facility will not be considered. Your quotation must be submitted via the In-Tend system no later than 12:00 noon on 14/09/2018. Quotations after this time will be excluded. Help and support - The Council will provide as much support and information as it can to help guide you through the Quotation process. Questions asked together with the response, will be made available to all firms quoting, to ensure a fair and consistent approach to all. If there is anything you are not sure of or need clarification of, then please contact us using the correspondence facility within the In-tend electronic tendering system. Deadline for questions closes 11/09/2018
