## Summary

The South Downs National Park Authority has concluded an open procurement process for a single supplier framework concerning the provision of specialist arboricultural advice related to planning applications. This tender, particularly aimed at the regions within the South Downs National Park, covering areas like Arun, Adur & Worthing, and other specific councils, closed its tender stage on 27th March 2026. The contract has been awarded to CONNICK TREE SERVICES LIMITED and encompasses a wide range of arboricultural consultative services, including tree notifications and conservation applications. The framework's legal basis is grounded in UK legislation 2023/54, and its fixed term runs from 1st June 2026 to 31st May 2029, with potential renewals extending up to 2030, making it an extensive opportunity in the 'services' industry category.

This framework presents substantial growth potential for businesses specialising in arboricultural services, particularly those adept at providing technical analysis or consultancy. The structured direct award system minimises competition post-award, allowing specialist firms to secure consistent workflow and revenue through ongoing council projects within the national park. Small to medium enterprises (SMEs) equipped with expertise in environmental planning and compliance would benefit significantly, given the focus on conservation and technical consultancy. By offering expert services in line with competitive hourly rates and robust methodologies, professionals in this domain can leverage the prestige and experience gained through such a public authority contract to enhance their market positioning and scale their operations.

## Notice

This will normally be required within the South Downs National Park Authority parts of Arun, Adur & Worthing, Brighton & Hove, Horsham, Lewes, Mid-Sussex and Wealden Councils as well as, occasionally, (approximately 7 applications per year) more complex applications across the Hampshire and Chichester District areas of the National Park.
