## Summary

The City of London commissioned major habitat restoration works in Epping Forest, specifically Lot 2 at Barn Hoppitt, Highams Park and Leyton Flats. The requirement forms part of the CSS FM2 works under agreement 1628782 and covers forest-sector planning services associated with habitat restoration. The work is classified under CPV 77231900. The buying organisation is The Mayor and Commonalty and Citizens of the City of London, a public authority responsible for the procurement. The geographic focus is Epping Forest sites in north-east London, including open forest and heathland locations requiring planned restoration activity. The procurement concerns services rather than goods or construction, and the contract documentation defines the detailed scope and delivery requirements for the restoration works.

This procurement has been awarded and completed as a tender process, with the tender status recorded as complete and the single lot also complete. It used a below-threshold limited competition, with at least three suppliers asked to provide prices and service details. Heartwood Tree Surgeons Limited was selected for the award. The contract was signed on 30 August 2026, runs from 1 September 2026 to 9 October 2026, and has a gross value of £49,974. The award is active and the contract is active. The procurement was evaluated through the limited competition on the basis of suppliers’ prices and details of the proposed service. This was a single-lot requirement, rather than a procurement divided between multiple awarded suppliers.

For a supplier that did not win this contract, the award indicates established demand from the City of London for specialist habitat restoration services in Epping Forest. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need practical tree-surgery and woodland-management capability, together with the ability to plan and deliver major habitat restoration works across several forest sites. The successful supplier was a large tree-services business, which suggests that the buyer valued an established operational provider able to undertake site-based work and provide the associated service detail. Relevant firms should be able to demonstrate experience of forest-sector planning, coordinated delivery across locations such as Barn Hoppitt, Highams Park and Leyton Flats, and the capacity to manage a defined restoration programme for a public-sector client.
