## Summary

National Highways Limited commissioned early contractor involvement for safety tree works on its South West regional road network. The requirement covers reviewing safety tree survey data for allocated routes, completing route drives and surveys to support programme development and costings, and helping to build the FY2026/27 safety-tree programme. The appointed provider must attend the South West regional network safety induction, obtain the required Highways Passports, and participate in collaborative workshops, fortnightly meetings and the monthly South West Safety Tree Board. The work also includes collaborative working with other delivery partners, management of specialist contractors and additional support for early programme delivery. The procurement category is tree-cutting services, with delivery across National Highways’ South West network.

The procurement is complete and was awarded directly without competition as a below-threshold procedure. M Group Services was selected for the single lot, with the award dated 7 July 2026. The contract was signed on 7 July 2026 and runs from 7 July 2026 to 1 April 2027. Its value is £75,699.76 excluding VAT, or £90,839.71 including VAT. Evaluation was conducted through the direct award route rather than a competitive tender. The awarded service is classified as tree-cutting services. National Highways Limited is the buyer, and the contract is active. The procurement is subject to the legal basis identified as 2023/54.

This award demonstrates demand from National Highways for specialist safety-tree support linked to the planning and delivery of work on a strategic road network. A credible future supplier would need practical tree-cutting and arboricultural capability, the capacity to review survey information and turn route inspections into programmes and costings, and the ability to coordinate specialist contractors. Familiarity with working on or around highways would be important, including readiness to complete network safety induction and obtain Highways Passports. The requirement also favours suppliers able to work collaboratively with delivery partners, contribute to structured workshops and regular programme meetings, and provide early-stage mobilisation support alongside operational expertise. Organisations with sufficient regional workforce and contractor-management capacity would be well placed for comparable National Highways requirements.
