## Summary

The procurement process led by Stockton on Tees Borough Council focuses on the Horticultural Supply of Trees Framework, aimed at enabling large-scale tree planting opportunities. This process falls under the 'goods' category in the public authority - sub-central government sector and is specifically relevant to the region UKC1 in the United Kingdom.
