## Summary

The Ards and North Down Borough Council is seeking proposals for its framework for the provision of Arboricultural services. This public tender pertains to the tree-clearing services industry (CPV classification 77211300) and spans a variety of services including tree-cutting, maintenance, pruning, and hedge trimming. The framework will initially run for one year, with potential extensions spanning up to three additional years. The procurement process is in the award stage as of 22nd November 2024, with the contract to commence on 6th November 2024. The contract location is within Northern Ireland (UKN09), with the framework allowing for eight suppliers who will compete in mini competitions for individual work tasks. Significant dates included the tender submission deadline on 19th August 2024 and the commencement date of the framework on 15th October 2024.

This tender creates significant growth opportunities for businesses engaged in arboricultural services, particularly those specialising in tree maintenance, cutting, pruning, and related activities. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are well-suited to compete, as evidenced by the award to a variety of suppliers, including Glendale Tree Services, Tristan Kinnear Limited, and other regional SMEs. The open procedure allows for broad participation, and the structured framework with mini competitions ensures ongoing opportunities for awarded businesses to secure work over the contract period. This re-issued tender, with revised and improved documentation, provides a clarified and enhanced opportunity for businesses to engage and expand their service delivery.
