## Summary

Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council is seeking a supplier for 262 young trees of various species. The requirement is for the purchase and supply of trees for the council’s tree-planting programme. This is a goods procurement rather than a works or maintenance contract, and the relevant classification is CPV 03452000 (trees). The buying organisation is Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council, based in Welwyn Garden City. The requirement concerns supplying the trees to the council; the published information does not identify a separate delivery location. Businesses should therefore focus on their ability to provide the specified range and quantity of young trees, in line with the technical requirements in the tender documents.

The process has reached tender: the council invited quotations through a below-threshold open competition. Enquiries were due by 23 September 2026 at 12:00, and quotations were due by 2 October 2026 at 12:00. Electronic submission is allowed through Supply Hertfordshire. The contract period is 5 October to 4 December 2026. The estimated procurement value is £25,000 excluding VAT and £30,000 including VAT. It is a single lot. A separate lot value is recorded as AED 25,000 excluding VAT and AED 30,000 including VAT, while the overall tender value is recorded in GBP. The award criteria are set out in the tender documents.

This opportunity is suited to commercial tree nurseries, growers, wholesalers and specialist horticultural suppliers able to source and supply young trees across various species. The central requirement is dependable access to 262 trees and the capacity to fulfil a relatively concentrated supply order within the stated contract period. Suppliers should be prepared to demonstrate that their stock matches the council’s specifications, including species, size, quality and any planting or handling requirements set out in the tender documents. Businesses with established nursery production, wholesale sourcing or public-sector supply experience may be well placed to compete. The opportunity may also suit smaller specialist suppliers with sufficient stock or reliable supply-chain arrangements.
