## Summary

Fenland District Council has completed a direct procurement process for a contract titled "Tree Support (Planning)" under the services category. This arrangement is specifically tailored to support the council following recent restructuring, focusing on tree-related casework. The procurement process, conducted without competition due to being below the threshold, took place in March, UKH12 region. The contract, which began on 13th December 2025 and was signed on 12th December 2025, will continue until April 2028. Regular reviews are part of the agreement, allowing either party to withdraw with a month's notice. The contract notice was published on 6th January 2026.

This contract presents growth opportunities, particularly for businesses in arboricultural consultancy and services incidental to forestry. The awarded contract went to ANDREW DAY ARBORICULTURAL CONSULTANCY LIMITED, a small to medium-sized enterprise (SME) based in Maldon. This tender is ideal for SMEs with expertise in mitigating environmental risks and supporting local councils with expert arboricultural support. Businesses aiming to engage in government contracts in the UK regions, particularly in the UKH1 delivery area, will find such opportunities beneficial for expanding their reach and solidifying their expertise in public authority engagements.

## Notice

Following recent announcements regarding local government restructuring, alongside a clearer understanding of the volume and complexity of tree-related casework, Fenland District Council consider it more practical and cost-effective to continue with external support at this time. If no arboricultural resources are in place, the Council would face increased risks, including unsound planning decisions, potential legal and reputational consequences for failing to meet statutory duties, delays in processing applications, environmental harm from the loss or poor management of important trees, and higher future costs linked to appeals or remedial action. Although the contract extension runs until April 2028, the arrangement will be subject to regular reviews, and either party may withdraw from the contract at any time by providing one month's written notice.
