## Summary

The London Borough of Lewisham has awarded the "Tree Planting and Aftercare" contract, focusing on horticultural services. Spanning three years from 1st November 2024 to 31st October 2027, this project aims to plant and maintain up to 1,300 new street trees across the borough. The procurement process has reached the Award stage with the successful supplier, Gristwood and Toms Ltd, securing the contract valued at £450,000. Relevant services cover tree pit scanning, planting, irrigation, aftercare, and young tree maintenance, enhancing urban greenery and local biodiversity in Lewisham.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in horticulture and environmental services, particularly those specialising in tree maintenance and urban greening. While Gristwood and Toms Ltd has won this tender, the project’s scope and the likelihood of similar initiatives can lead to further subcontracting and partnership opportunities. Companies with expertise in tree planting, irrigation systems, and long-term plant care stand to benefit most, possibly leveraging this project as a stepping stone to future public procurement engagements in the sector.
