## Summary

Salford City Council intends to procure tractor-mounted hedge trimming services in Salford. The work involves using tractor-mounted equipment to trim hedges, supporting the council’s land and grounds maintenance requirements. It is a service contract rather than a supply or construction project, with the primary classification covering tree pruning and hedge trimming. Delivery is in Salford, within the council’s area. The council is the buying organisation and will use the service for its own public-sector requirements. The scope currently described is focused on hedge trimming carried out with tractor-mounted machinery, so businesses should assess their experience, equipment and operating capacity against this specific type of grounds maintenance work.

This procurement is at the planning stage: Salford City Council has stated its intention to procure, but this record is not an invitation to tender. The council plans preliminary market engagement through a questionnaire, with responses requested by 23 September 2026. The expected contract period is 1 June 2027 to 30 May 2030, with renewal possible up to 30 May 2032. The estimated value is £200,000 excluding VAT, or £240,000 including VAT. The procurement is above the relevant threshold and is divided into one lot. The lot is currently in planning. The procurement method and evaluation basis have not yet been set out. Businesses should treat the dates as indicative expectations while monitoring the process for the eventual tender information.

This will suit specialist grounds maintenance, arboricultural or land management contractors with the capability to deliver hedge trimming using tractor-mounted equipment. The work is particularly relevant to businesses that already operate suitable tractors, mounted trimming machinery and trained teams for recurring hedge maintenance across Salford. The council has indicated that the procurement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community and social enterprises, widening its potential relevance beyond large national contractors. Suppliers can use the market engagement stage to explain their available equipment, delivery model, geographic coverage, relevant hedge-trimming experience and practical constraints. There are no stated accreditation requirements at this planning stage, so businesses should prepare evidence of competence, capacity and comparable service delivery.
