The procurement process is currently in the active stage, with a focus on the construction consultancy services industry. The tender period will close on 18 July 2022, and the contract is set to commence on 1 August 2022, lasting until 31 March 2023. This survey is essential for addressing the public risk posed by ash dieback along the extensive 5,340 km of Derbyshire's highway network, which consists of various classifications of roads. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in environmental consultancy and tree surveys. Companies with expertise in forestry health assessments, particularly those adept in identifying environmental diseases, would be well-suited to submit proposals. The project budget is £130,000, indicating the potential for SMEs to engage in meaningful work to mitigate the effects of ash dieback and enhance public safety. Given the ongoing nature of the surveys, there may also be future contracts available based on the findings from this initial project. ## Notice Ash dieback is a fungal disease thought to have originated in eastern Asia and imported into mainland Europe in the 1990s, it has spread rapidly across the continent with the first recorded case in the UK in 2012. The disease is usually fatal for young ash trees and can kill saplings within one growing season. Larger mature ash with the infection is thought to be more tolerant or declines at a slower rate over several years. The County Council has identified its highway network as the highest priority to begin ash Dieback surveys due to the high level of public risk from failing trees. Derbyshire's highway network is large and consists of approximately 5340km in total, made up of 1162km A & B roads and 4178km of C and unclassified roads. This procurement is for a highway tree survey in the 2022/23 financial year. Further surveys will be commissioned in subsequent years based on the initial findings. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/12f4e156-6f3b-4cb9-b93c-0826d9e45742 | | 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 | 11 Jul 2022 | | Submission deadline | 18 Jul 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Jul 2022 - 31 Mar 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £130,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Cancelled | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DERBYSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | MATLOCK | | Post town | Derby | | Postcode | DE4 3AG | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF1 Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire | | ITL 3 | TLF13 South and West Derbyshire | | Local authority | Derbyshire Dales | | Electoral ward | Matlock West | | Westminster constituency | Derbyshire Dales | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 71530000 - Construction consultancy services ## Release History - 11 Jul 2022 at 14:49 - TenderCancellation - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/12f4e156-6f3b-4cb9-b93c-0826d9e45742 - 11 Jul 2022 at 07:46 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6190ebe6-2eaa-4bdb-b5ba-a79317289e1e ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/12f4e156-6f3b-4cb9-b93c-0826d9e45742 11th July 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6190ebe6-2eaa-4bdb-b5ba-a79317289e1e 11th July 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.derbyshire.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
