The procurement is currently at the active tender stage, which is set to close on 12 August 2022. The contract period will commence on 1 September 2022 and extend until 31 August 2023. This open tender method follows an open procedure above the threshold and is classified under agricultural, forestry, horticultural, aquacultural and apicultural services within the CPV classification system. The work will predominantly take place in Walsall, West Midlands, with delivery addresses including a location with the postal code WS1 1TP. This procurement presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in forestry services or those engaged in environmental management and tree care. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly encouraged to participate in this tender, as the requirements and scope provide potential for engagement in sustainable urban management. The project involves the essential inspections and surveying of public trees, which positions it as a key municipal service that enhances community safety and meets legal obligations, thus allowing businesses to demonstrate their expertise in compliance and proactive environmental management. ## Notice Walsall Council wishes to procure a suitably experienced and qualified contractor, for the inspections/surveying of its borough wide tree stock. Walsall Council tree stock amounts to approximately 35,000 trees Borough wide and the law requires the local authority to have a defensible system in place to manage the risk of falling trees. As part of this process Walsall Council ensure the trees are inspected on a regular basis with a proactive management strategy to deal with residents' issues in relation to trees. The majority of trees are located on highways, parks or open spaces in and around housing areas, providing green spaces for all areas and communities in the Borough. Tree inspections are currently undertaken by a qualified in-house resource who will soon be leaving his post. Walsall Council are running this procurement in parallel with a recruitment process with a view to select the most appropriate outcome. This may result in this procurement process being cancelled in favour of recruitment.
