This open procurement process is currently active, with the tender period set to close on 1st July 2019. The contract is anticipated to commence from 15th July 2019 and last until 14th July 2023. Suppliers are required to deliver multiple species of Christmas trees across sites in the West Midlands region. Importantly, this public procurement contract is suitable for small and medium enterprises (SMEs), and it is expected that a correction to the tender opportunity will be issued shortly. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses engaged in horticulture and forestry, particularly those specialised in the supply of Christmas trees. Firms with capability in sourcing, delivering, and managing contracts for Nordmann Fir, Lodgepole Pine, and Pot-Grown Christmas trees would be well-suited to compete. Moreover, as the contract is divided into lots, businesses can flexibly bid for one or more tree species, enabling a wider chance to participate and grow within this niche market. ## Notice Text to be corrected in the original notice: Instead of: 03-06-2019 Read: TENDER OPPORTUNITY WITHDRAWN.
