## Summary

Leicestershire County Council has awarded a contract for the "Provision of Tree Stock & Nursery Stock" valued at £40,000. The procurement method used was a direct award, with a tender period that ended on 14th November 2022. The contract period will run from 18th November 2022 to 31st March 2023, creating opportunities for businesses in the goods category, specifically those involved in tree-related activities, to provide tree stock to support the Council's tree-planting scheme in Leicestershire.

Businesses interested in supporting tree planting initiatives and supplying tree stock can benefit from this tender. Companies with expertise in supplying and nurturing trees, as well as those with environmental initiatives aligning with tree planting targets, are well-suited to compete. The contract, awarded to W Crowder & Sons Ltd, presents an opportunity for businesses to contribute to the community tree coverage objectives in Leicestershire and align with their own net zero objectives, making it a valuable growth opportunity for businesses in the tree stock and nursery stock industry.

## Notice

This contract is to procure tree stock for the Council's 2021/22 free tree scheme. For future years, the Council is looking to set up it's own tree nursery to supply the scheme. In addition, it is envisaged companies have their own tree planting targets to support their internal net zero objectives. The Council may look at how it can secure some of this tree planting in the Leicestershire community to support the county wide objective to increase tree coverage. This may be more cost effective for businesses to donate trees to the Council's scheme than to pay for trees & subsequent planting themselves.
