The contract period will start on September 1, 2023, and end on August 31, 2026. The procurement method is an open procedure, with the tender period closing on June 5, 2023. The main procurement category is services, and the contract is suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprises. This procurement process by the Oxford City Council presents an opportunity for businesses specializing in tree maintenance services to bid for a framework contract. Companies approved by the Arboriculture Association can offer their services for planned and unplanned tree works to ensure public safety in the specified locations. Small and medium-sized enterprises, as well as VCSEs, are encouraged to participate in this tender to provide high-quality arboricultural services in the identified regions. ## Notice Oxford Direct Services (ODS) Arboricultural services are comprised of a range of planned works according to a review & maintenance schedule at particular times of year, and also a range of unplanned work required on an ad-hoc basis in response to service requests and natural events. Arboricultural Services in Oxford City and surrounding areas are a year-round requirement. The business need for this framework contract is centred around ODS's statutory responsibilities to maintain the tree stock that it is responsible for. Trees must be maintained in a safe manner to ensure users of the Public Highway, Council owned properties and Council maintained land are as safe as is reasonably practicable. To enable resulting tree works to be delivered, ODS wishes to utilise competent contractors/persons due to the high risks associated with arboricultural works. In light of this, ODS has a requirement for a framework agreement to provide high quality specialist Arboricultural Services. Tenderers are invited to tender for the provision of the Service described in the Statement of Requirement, Standards and Specification as long as they are Arboriculture Association Approved.
