## Summary

Ipswich Borough Council is seeking a supplier for tree works and associated services, including tree pruning and hedge trimming. The work is for delivery in Suffolk. The requirement is a local grounds and tree-care service contract for the council.

The council invited offers through an open competition. The intended contract period is 12 November 2026 to 11 October 2029. The tender was published with a value of £140,000 excluding VAT (£168,000 including VAT). The stated submission deadline was 11 October 2029 at 11:00. Evaluation is described as a compliance check by a panel of council officers. The procurement is a single-lot requirement. A separate lot entry gives inconsistent contract dates and currency; the intended dates and GBP values are stated in the tender description and overall value. The procurement is below the applicable threshold.

This opportunity is suited to contractors able to undertake practical tree maintenance and hedge trimming across Suffolk. Suppliers will need the operational capability to deliver both types of work over a multi-year council contract. The requirement may suit established arboricultural and grounds-maintenance businesses with suitable staff, equipment and capacity to respond to the council’s service needs. The published evaluation basis is a compliance check, so suppliers should ensure their offer meets the tender requirements. No particular accreditation, staff qualification or prior experience requirement is stated in the procurement information.
