This is tree surgery and associated removal work, delivered in the United Kingdom. The requirement is described as tree works operations and is a services contract. Suppliers whose work covers safe tree removal and stump removal may find the scope relevant, particularly those able to support subsequent tree replacement preparation. The procurement is for the borough, which is the buying organisation. The stated scope focuses on removal rather than the supply or planting of replacement trees, so businesses specialising only in planting or general grounds maintenance may find the requirement less closely aligned with their services. The buyer invited offers through a restricted procedure, in which participation is selective. The tender deadline set by the buyer was 23 October 2026 at 12:00. The contract period is scheduled to run from 26 October 2026 to 30 November 2026. The notice gives no estimated contract value. No separate enquiry deadline or evaluation criteria are stated in the procurement details. The requirement is presented as a single tree and stump removal operation, with no lots identified. Small and medium-sized businesses are considered suitable to take part, while voluntary, community and social enterprises are not marked as suitable. The procurement is at tender stage: the buyer has invited suppliers to submit offers under the stated restricted procedure. This opportunity is suited to arboricultural contractors able to undertake tree and stump removal as preparation for tree replacement. Relevant operational capability includes carrying out removal work safely and completing stump removal as part of the same requirement. The short, defined period points to a focused delivery operation, so suppliers should be able to mobilise and complete the work within the specified contract window. The buyer marks small and medium-sized businesses as suitable, making the opportunity potentially accessible to firms with the relevant specialist equipment and workforce rather than only large contractors. No particular accreditation, technical standard, staffing level or previous experience requirement is set out in the procurement details, and the published scope does not call for tree planting or wider landscape services. ## Notice 13686 DTH 2026-27 Final Set Tree and stump removal in preparation for tree replacement This opportunity has been distributed on adamprocure.co.uk ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c608b122-b81f-4d6f-91d2-db6ba6bb1517 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Restricted procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 16 Oct 2026 | | Submission deadline | 23 Oct 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 26 Oct 2026 - 30 Nov 2026 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | 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 | London Borough of Islington | | Locality | ISLINGTON | | Postcode area | North London | | Postcode | N7 8TP | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI4 Inner London - East | | ITL 3 | TLI43 Haringey and Islington | | Local authority | Islington | | Electoral ward | Laycock | | Westminster constituency | Islington South and Finsbury | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 50 - Repair and maintenance services ### Codes - 50000000 - Repair and maintenance services ## Release History - 16 Oct 2026 at 12:19 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c608b122-b81f-4d6f-91d2-db6ba6bb1517 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c608b122-b81f-4d6f-91d2-db6ba6bb1517 16th October 2026 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.adamprocure.co.uk ## Notice URLs - https://www.islington.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
