## Summary

The Carmarthenshire County Council has awarded a contract for arboricultural works related to Ash Dieback and other tree health issues, encompassing services under their Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS). The award dated 24th March 2026 covers the period from 1st January 2026 to 31st March 2026 for the removal of diseased trees in the Carmarthenshire region. Situated in Wales, the Council manages a substantial network of public highways and various green sites, which include schools and recreational areas. This project falls under the "Tree-cutting services" industry category, with DTS TREE SERVICES LTD. as the awarded contractor. The procurement process was managed through a selective, restricted procedure, ensuring compliance with criteria set forth by the Council. The award aims to address the pressing needs of tree removal to maintain the safety and health of public spaces.

This tender provides business growth opportunities primarily for skilled contractors specialising in tree-cutting and maintenance services. The DPS allows multiple qualified businesses to engage with the council over the span of several years, thus ensuring sustained opportunities for service providers. Small and medium-sized enterprises, such as the successful DTS TREE SERVICES LTD., which demonstrated expertise and compliance with cost-effective solutions, are particularly well-suited to benefit from this framework. The Council’s approach promotes collaborative efforts with private landowners, expanding potential business avenues beyond traditional public contracts. This can be advantageous for arboriculture businesses looking to increase their portfolio and clientele, while contributing significantly to managing public greenspace infrastructure.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

Carmarthenshire County Council ("the Council") is seeking suitably qualified and experienced Contractors to undertake Ash Dieback and other tree felling works within a Dynamic Purchasing System ("DPS"). At this stage, the Council is considering an initial period of four years which includes the option to extend in one year periods for a further period of up to four years or until the agreement is no longer fit for purpose. Carmarthenshire County Council has the second largest length of highways network in Wales, covering 3,500km of public highway, with 110 schools, some of which contain an extensive number of trees. Also maintained are parks, playgrounds and open spaces. We also maintain land on housing estates and social services establishments, Council owned buildings and leisure centres. The proposed DPS will predominately deal with the removal of Trees infected with Hymenoscyphus fraxineus (Ash Dieback). A survey undertaken in 2019 of the A and B roads in the County identified trees for removal as they are showing more than 50% dieback of the crown. Recent school surveys have highlighted sites that need trees removing. Trees showing at least 50% dieback of the crown during our surveys have been tagged with orange ribbon or marked with orange spray paint. Diseased trees within the highway verge will be removed by the County Council. The Council will also liaise with private landowners and will be offering its services to take down trees adjacent the highway provided they agree to pay the costs for felling and provided it does not impact on the overall programme. Contractors will be asked to identify separate costs where an opportunity exists to work with private landowners. Additional information: A Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) is a two-stage process. In the initial setup stage, all Bidders who meet the selection criteria and are not excluded will be admitted to the DPS. There is no limit on the number of Bidders that may join a DPS. Individual contracts are awarded during the second stage. In this stage, the Council invites all suppliers on the DPS to bid for the specific contract.
