## Summary

The Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council has initiated a procurement process for a framework agreement concerning Arboriculture Services across the borough. This open tender, set to close on 23rd July 2026, is focused on engaging competent contractors to deliver both planned and reactive arboricultural services, including work outside normal hours. The total estimated contract value is £672,000 and the procurement process aims to establish a framework with up to three suppliers. The contract is governed by the legal framework of the UK Public Contracts Regulations and is aligned with Northern Irish devolved regulations. The procurement stage is currently active, with potential awards expected by 24th August 2026, leading to a contract period starting from 30th August 2026.

This tender represents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in agricultural, forestry, and horticultural services. Suppliers capable of providing tree pruning, hedge trimming, and emergency response services are particularly well-placed to benefit from participation. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with a proven track record in arboricultural services can gain enhanced visibility and develop lasting relationships within the public sector. Additionally, the framework's design allows appointed contractors to compete for annual schedules of planned work, thus encouraging continuous business growth and creating a dynamic commercial environment for capable suppliers. The open procedure ensures a transparent procurement process, inviting submissions from suitably qualified businesses with a focus on quality and cost-efficiency.
