The tender, with an estimated value of £30,000, is currently in the Tender stage and is open for submissions until 14th December 2021. The scope includes up to 42 sites across the East Midlands, focusing on ensuring public safety concerning trees managed as part of the council's extensive green spaces portfolio. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in environmental surveying, arboriculture, or related services to engage with Nottinghamshire County Council. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) could find a strong fit, especially those with expertise in conducting safety assessments and developing mitigation strategies for tree hazards. Successful engagement in this project could enhance a business's portfolio and reputation while contributing to sustainable land management and public safety initiatives in the region. ## Notice Nottinghamshire County Council's Green Spaces service manages a portfolio of approximately 90 so-called Green Spaces sites totalling some 1100 hectares across the county of Nottinghamshire. The sites are primarily located in the former coalfield area to the west and north of the County, although there are a small number of sites through the central belt of Nottinghamshire and also to the south and east of the city of Nottingham. These sites are, in the main, restored colliery spoil heaps, disused mineral railway lines (now used as multi-user routes) and other land managed as informal green space principally for public recreation and biodiversity. Land use on these sites includes amenity woodland, conservation grassland, wetland, commercial forestry and some agricultural pasture. As a result, the Green Spaces service manage a significant tree and woodland resource, with our tree stock located alongside the public highway, definitive rights of way, active railway lines, and residential and industrial property, in addition to the many miles of informal paths, tracks and trails that cross our sites. As a responsible landowner, we wish to ensure that these trees do not pose an unacceptable risk to the public. We are therefore seeking a cost-effective and efficient 'duty of care' survey of the trees on up to 42no. of our Green Spaces sites and are inviting quotes to this end. The results of this survey must yield clear conclusions about the relative threat that any identified trees pose to the safety of the public or to adjacent property, along with clear actions to remedy these threats. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/bbce093e-22ae-4458-a4ff-f50a6625a184 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | 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 | 30 Nov 2021 | | Submission deadline | 14 Dec 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 20 Dec 2021 - 19 Dec 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £30,000 | | 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 | NOTTINGHAMSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | NOTTINGHAM | | Post town | Nottingham | | Postcode | NG14 6QL | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF1 Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire | | ITL 3 | TLF16 South Nottinghamshire | | Local authority | Gedling | | Electoral ward | Calverton | | Westminster constituency | Sherwood Forest | | Delivery location | TLF East Midlands (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 77 - Agricultural, forestry, horticultural, aquacultural and apicultural services ### Codes - 77000000 - Agricultural, forestry, horticultural, aquacultural and apicultural services ## Release History - 30 Nov 2021 at 15:17 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/bbce093e-22ae-4458-a4ff-f50a6625a184 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/bbce093e-22ae-4458-a4ff-f50a6625a184 30th November 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.nottinghamshire.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
