## Summary

Lichfield District Council requires arboricultural services for trees in its parks and open spaces, including several registered woodlands. The requirement covers routine basic tree inspections and maintenance of the council’s tree stock, together with more detailed arboricultural surveys carried out periodically in line with the council’s tree procedure. The stated purpose is to enhance and prolong the life of the trees. The work is delivered across the council’s area in Staffordshire. The procurement is for tree-maintenance services, including inspection, assessment and related maintenance activity for a substantial public tree estate of approximately 30,000 trees. It is relevant to arboricultural contractors able to support both routine operational work and more detailed professional tree surveys.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was awarded to Peace Arboriculture. The award was made on 5 August 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract value is £120,000 excluding VAT (£144,000 including VAT). The contract runs from 10 August 2026 to 9 August 2028, with one optional 12-month extension, allowing the term to extend to 9 August 2029. The contract is active. The recorded procurement route was a limited procedure, with competition restricted to invited suppliers under the council’s below-threshold process. Peace Arboriculture, an SME, is the selected supplier for the complete tree-inspection requirement.

This award demonstrates established demand from Lichfield District Council for continuing arboricultural support across a large public tree estate, including parks, open spaces and registered woodlands. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need practical capacity for year-round routine tree inspections and maintenance, alongside qualified arboricultural expertise for more detailed surveys undertaken in accordance with a council tree procedure. The scale calls for an organisation able to manage inspections and maintenance across approximately 30,000 trees, maintain reliable records and apply consistent professional judgement to tree risk and condition. The award to an SME also indicates that the requirement can be delivered by a suitably capable specialist rather than only by a large national contractor.

## Notice

There are approximately 30,000 trees across the councils' parks and open spaces, including several registered woodlands. All year round the council carry out routine basic tree inspections and maintenance of the tree stock enhancing and prolonging the life of the tree. A more detailed arboriculturist survey is completed every 1 to 5 years, in accordance with the councils Tree procedure
