## Summary

The procurement process conducted by Hertfordshire County Council, titled "Provision of tree stock for tree giveaway," has reached the award stage. This contract involves the supply of approximately 200,000 bare root tree whips, delivered in two batches over the winters of 2026 and 2027. The competition followed a limited procurement method under the UKPGA 2023/54 legal basis. The delivery location for the trees is in the UKH23 region of the United Kingdom. The contract was signed on 19th May 2026, for a period starting on 1st July 2026 and ending on 31st December 2027, with a total value of £97,283.25.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses specialising in tree-nursery products to expand their market presence, particularly those capable of supplying large quantities of specific tree stock. The procurement process being below the competitive threshold could be especially appealing to small and medium enterprises (SMEs), as demonstrated by the successful award to W Crowder & Sons, a supplier classified as an SME. This project can benefit businesses looking to establish or strengthen ties with public authorities like Hertfordshire County Council by providing an opportunity to showcase their expertise in the horticultural industry.
