## Summary

Worcester City Council commissioned tree-removal services at St John’s Cemetery, McIntyre Road, Worcester. The work involved the sectional dismantling and removal of 22 Lombardy poplar trees beside the railway line, including taking away the resulting wood chips and timber. It was a single-lot requirement, delivered at the cemetery in Worcester. The work is a specialist arboricultural operation involving controlled dismantling in a location next to railway infrastructure, together with site clearance and removal of the cut material.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to ACER TREE SERVICES (HEREFORD) LIMITED. The council used a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed on 16 October 2026, with work scheduled from 26 to 30 October 2026. Its value is £29,745 excluding VAT (£35,694 including VAT). The procurement comprised one lot covering all 22 trees and associated removal of chips and timber. The award is active and the contract is recorded as active. No award evaluation criteria are stated in the published process information.

This requirement demonstrates Worcester City Council’s demand for specialist tree dismantling and removal at a cemetery beside a railway line, including removal of arisings. A credible competitor for similar work would need to show it can safely section and dismantle mature trees in a constrained setting, manage the risks of working close to railway infrastructure, and remove both timber and wood chips while leaving the site clear. The contract was delivered by a Hereford-based small business, showing that the work was within the scope of a specialist local or regional arboricultural supplier rather than necessarily a large contractor. Experience with complex tree-removal operations and the capacity to complete a concentrated programme of 22 trees would be commercially relevant for suppliers tracking this buyer’s requirements.
