## Summary

The Huntingdonshire District Council has initiated a tender process titled "Invitation to Tender For the provision of an ARB Approved Tree Specialist Service" in the agricultural, farming, fishing, forestry, and related products category. The procurement stage is currently active, with a tender value of £100,000 and a minimum value of £90,000. The tender is open for participation until 21st June 2024, and the contract period is scheduled to start on 1st September 2024 and end on 31st January 2025.

This tender opportunity presents a chance for businesses specialising in arboreal services to secure a contract with the Huntingdonshire District Council. Companies that are Arb Association-approved and capable of providing tree specialist services, including tree fells, pollarding, re-coppicing, and reductions, can compete for this opportunity. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly suitable to participate, given the emphasis on SME suitability in the procurement process.

## Notice

Recent tree surveys have highlighted a large amount of tree work needed regarding the health and safety of the public in our public open spaces. The amount of work needed is too large to be done in-house and we are looking for a contractor to carry out the work, this work ranges from small dead tree fells, pollarding, re-coppicing, and reductions. This work will need to be started and completed between September 2024 and January 2025. It is worth noting that some of these sites sit very wet in the mid-winter and become inaccessible by vehicle and should plan to start and complete work before this happens. You must be Arb Association-approved to apply for this tender.
