## Summary

Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council has completed the procurement process titled "WHC - Tree Supply 2025," aimed at sourcing 279 trees of various species for the winter planting season of 2025-2026. The procurement, which was an open competition below the threshold, was broken down into three distinct lots. Hillier Nurseries Ltd was awarded all contracts, each corresponding to a separate lot. The contracts were awarded based on the lowest tendered price and were officially signed on 15th October 2025. The procurement process falls under the "goods" category and was originally initiated on 5th September 2025. The tree supply contracts will run from 10th October 2025 to 12th December 2025, with deliveries made to Welwyn Garden City, UK.

This tender presents significant business opportunities, especially for suppliers in the horticultural and landscaping industries. Companies capable of providing a variety of tree species, including less commonly available types, as outlined in lots 2 and 3, are particularly well-suited to participate in such tenders. The opportunity not only facilitates immediate business but also allows suppliers to forge lasting connections with public authorities like Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council. With the Council focusing on enhancing urban canopy diversity, nurseries and suppliers with access to diverse stock will find this a lucrative chance to expand their reach into public sector projects.

### Lot Information

Tree Supply Lot 1

The tree species (and variety or cultivar) detailed in Lot 1 have been selected as they are commonly available in tree nurseries and suppliers.

Tree Supply Lot 2

The tree species (and variety or cultivar) detailed in Lot 2 have been selected as they are less commonly available in tree nurseries and suppliers than Lot 1.

Tree Supply Lot 3

The tree species detailed in this list have been selected for the purpose of creating a more interesting, robust and diverse urban canopy.

Therefore an alternative species will be considered acceptable provided it fits the stature and aim of the location.
