## Summary

Leeds City Council is currently in the planning stage of a procurement process titled "Ash Dieback Contract 2026 - 2030" as part of its initiative to combat ash dieback disease. This contract is focused on services in the tree-clearing and maintenance industry, specifically targeting ash trees across various locations in the United Kingdom, particularly in the UKE42 region. The preliminary market engagement notice was published on 6th October 2025, with an engagement milestone scheduled before 17th October 2025. The anticipated start date for the contract is 1st April 2026, extending to 31st March 2030, with potential renewal options extending to 2032. An estimated gross value of £3,600,000 has been allocated for the project under the competitive tender process, aiming to gather market sounding for the planned procurement activities.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in forestry services, tree-cutting, and maintenance, as the council prioritises addressing high-risk areas affected by ash dieback. Companies with expertise in tree risk management, particularly those small to medium enterprises (SMEs) focusing on tree removal and maintenance, stand to benefit from participating in this procurement.
