## Summary

Derbyshire County Council has completed a procurement process titled "Ash Die Back Batch 5 job 7145823," aimed at addressing the critical issue of ash dieback affecting trees across the county. The contract was awarded to Forest Farm Tree Services, a certified large-scale provider based in Sutton in Ashfield. The procurement falls under the services category, specifically focusing on tree-cutting services. The contract was signed on 5 January 2026, with activities scheduled to commence from 12 January 2026 and conclude by 27 February 2026. The procurement method was described as "Below threshold - unknown," indicating a streamlined process likely tailored to address urgent needs efficiently.

This tender provides significant business growth opportunities for companies specialising in environmental services, particularly those focusing on tree management and disease mitigation. Forest Farm Tree Services, due to its substantial resource pool and expertise, was successfully engaged to fulfil the requirements promptly and effectively. Businesses with similar competencies in large-scale tree-cutting services and the ability to mobilise rapidly may find such contracts a valuable avenue for growth, particularly when public safety and environmental health are critical priorities.

## Notice

Due to a recent fatality the authority has implemented a large scale tree felling programme across the county to remove trees infected with ash die back a fungal disease which compromises the structural integrity causing them to fail. With there being such a high volume work which has already incorporated batch 1 to 4 since October 25 we now need to start a far bigger batch 5, the only issue is we are struggling to achieve our completion dates with our precured companies so I have reached out to Forest Farm a certified and competent company who have resources available to assist us straight away so we can remain compliant and keep our duty of care to the public
