## Summary

Stockton on Tees Borough Council is planning to procure horticultural supplies, specifically the "Horticultural Supply of Trees". With the industry category classified under "Trees" (CPV code: 03452000), this procurement process is currently at the planning stage. Notably, a preliminary market engagement notice was published on 20 March 2025 with an expression of interest due by 3 April 2025. The procurement project is located in the Stockton on Tees region (UKC11) and involves the supply of extra heavy standard trees, which are 10-12 cm to 18-20 cm in girth, for planting in open spaces. The contracting process strictly requires trees to be in air pots and excludes root balled or bare rooted trees.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for suppliers within the horticultural sector, especially those dealing in large and specialised tree supplies. Businesses capable of providing high-quality trees that meet the specified criteria will find this an excellent opportunity to expand their portfolio and establish a long-term relationship with a public authority. The project, which may have a contract period starting from 1 July 2025 to 30 June 2026 with possible renewals until 30 June 2030, suits small and medium enterprises (SMEs). This contract represents a stable and potentially recurring business opportunity, dependent on annual funding allocations for tree planting by the council.
