## Summary

The West Midlands Combined Authority is currently in the planning stage of a procurement process entitled "Tree Survey for Midland Metro Limited - Expression of Interest (EOI)." The project falls under the services category, specifically targeting surveying and environmental services within the UKG region, with a focus on Birmingham, United Kingdom.

By participating in this EOI, businesses can demonstrate their skills in managing environmental risks, thereby positioning themselves for future endeavors related to infrastructure safety and vegetation management strategies. The experience within live infrastructure environments is advantageous and can set a firm apart in the bidding process.
