## Summary

The District Council of Folkestone and Hythe commissioned a district-wide arboricultural survey of trees on land it manages. The purpose is to update the council’s register of arboricultural assets, creating an up-to-date record of its tree estate. This is primarily environmental and arboricultural consultancy work, with an associated software or computer-systems element recorded for the awarded requirement. Delivery is in Folkestone and Hythe’s managed areas in Kent. The council is the public-sector buyer. The requirement concerns a defined survey and asset-register update rather than general grounds maintenance, tree surgery or construction works, so it is most relevant to arboricultural consultants, tree survey specialists and environmental consultancies able to collect, assess and organise tree information for a local authority.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded under a below-threshold direct award without competition. TMA Environmental Consultants was selected as supplier for the single completed lot. The award was signed on 28 March 2026. The contract runs from 1 April 2026 to 30 September 2026. Its value is £43,078 excluding VAT, or £51,693.60 including VAT. The recorded procurement category is goods, with the associated classification describing miscellaneous software packages and computer systems, while the stated requirement is the district arboricultural survey. The contract is below the relevant threshold. The published process therefore records a completed, non-competitive purchase rather than an opportunity undergoing evaluation or awaiting a supplier decision.

This award indicates that Folkestone and Hythe District Council has an established requirement for a structured survey of trees on council-managed land and for maintaining an arboricultural asset register. A credible future competitor would need practical arboricultural surveying capability, environmental consultancy experience and the capacity to cover a council’s managed estate systematically. It would also need to produce usable, accurate asset information rather than isolated inspection reports, with suitable systems or software to organise the survey data and support an updated register. Experience of delivering comparable local-authority tree surveys would strengthen a supplier’s position, particularly where teams must combine field data collection, tree assessment, data quality control and clear outputs for council officers.
