## Summary

The procurement process led by South Holland District Council and Boston Borough Council, aims to engage with the market regarding future procurement for tree risk surveys and management plans, currently in the Planning stage. The buying organisation, South Holland District Council, located in Spalding, with Boston Borough Council situated in Boston, are seeking services within the industry category covering Tree-maintenance and Arborist services. The procurement stage focuses on planning with a key milestone ending on 21 April 2026 for preliminary market engagement. Interested businesses have until this deadline to register on the PSPS electronic tendering portal to view necessary documentation and submit feedback. The contract is intended to run from October 2026 to September 2027, highlighting an opportunity for providers to offer specialised services in the UKF3 region, United Kingdom.

This procurement opportunity is perfect for companies specialising in tree maintenance services and Arborists with expertise in assessing tree risks, presenting significant business growth potential. The process seeks firms equipped to handle assessments, inventories, and provide training to local council staff. With the prospect of aiding the development of risk surveys and management plans, established businesses in the arboriculture sector or those aspiring to expand their service portfolio will find this opportunity compelling. Engaging in this preliminary market phase allows potential suppliers to contribute expertise that could guide the tender specifications, enhancing their prospects for future contract awards with local councils.

South Holland District Council (SHDC) and Boston Borough Council (BBC) are seeking an Arborist / suitably qualified inspector, to complete an inventory of trees on Council land with an assessment of risk in the respective areas, as follows: 1. Zone all SHDC and BBC sites (see A1 in the example strategy attached, Appendix A) - desk exercise 2. Carry out an inventory of trees across all sites - collect data as per current Industry/Forest Research Data Standards 3. Undertake Active Assessment of those trees in Zones of High Confluence 4.
