## Summary

The Surrey County Council is inviting tenders for the Countryside Services Framework. This procurement opportunity falls within the tree-nursery products industry category. The deadline for tender submission is January 29th, 2024, with a contract period starting on April 1st, 2024, and ending on March 31st, 2028. The total contract value is £16 million, and the procurement method is an open procedure above threshold. Interested businesses must be prepared to provide services related to public Highway verges, public rights of way, and other countryside sites.

Businesses specializing in tree maintenance, grounds maintenance, drainage equipment, fencing, and related services could find lucrative opportunities through this tender. SMEs are particularly encouraged to participate, aligning with the buyer's preference for smaller enterprises. Surrey County Council, acting as the contracting authority, is overseeing this procurement process aimed at securing high-quality services to support the Environment, Transport, and Infrastructure directorate. The framework's expiry in April 2024 necessitates a timely and efficient re-procurement process to ensure continuity of services.

## Notice

These services are on public Highway verges, public rights of way and other countryside sites including but not limited to: * Basingstoke Canal * Blackwater Valley CMP * Surrey Countryside Estate
