This public procurement, completed under a competitive flexible procedure, emphasises services including tree inspections, pruning, and emergency out-of-hours interventions. It targets the UKJ region with a budget allocated at £1,500,000. Contracts have been awarded to Barkland Tree Specialists, Artemis Tree Services Limited, and R. Watts & Sons Limited, effective from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2029, with potential extensions based on performance.
