It covers two service areas: tree consultancy and tree surgery, including maintenance of the Council’s trees. The consultancy lot is for tree consultant services; the tree surgery lot covers tree maintenance and tree-cutting. Work is to be delivered in Newport, Wales. Suppliers may apply for either service area or both. The framework is intended to provide the Council with access to suitably skilled contractors for tree-related work, with work allocated according to its urgency and nature. Depending on the requirement, jobs may be placed directly with an approved contractor or competed among framework contractors. The buyer invited tenders through an open procedure for the first reopening of an existing framework. Enquiries were due by 25 November 2026 at 12:00; tenders were due by 2 December 2026 at 12:00. The stated evaluation period ended on 5 December 2026. The framework is planned to run from 1 January 2027 to 30 June 2029, with a possible four-year extension if it is reopened to admit further contractors during its first three years; its stated maximum end date is 30 June 2033. The estimated value is £1.44 million for consultancy and £2.16 million for tree surgery, excluding VAT. Each lot’s award assessment is based entirely on its qualification envelope. Suppliers may apply for one or both lots; applicants must meet minimum qualification requirements and score over 50% on a practical test to be appointed to both. The opportunity suits tree consultancy firms and tree surgery contractors, including small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community or social enterprises. It offers a route onto a framework with a stated maximum of 50 participants, potentially giving successful suppliers access to future Newport City Council requirements rather than a single defined job. Tree consultants should be able to meet the qualification requirements for the consultancy lot; tree surgeons need the skills to maintain the Council’s trees. Applicants are assessed through a qualification envelope, and a practical test applies to appointment across both lots. For later work, the Council may make direct awards where urgency and the required skill set make this appropriate, or run competitions among approved contractors. Suppliers should be prepared to provide quotes against specifications and deliver within the timescales and capability requirements of individual jobs. ## Notice First reopening of the NCC202402192 - Tree Surgeon and Tree Consultant Framework - Newport City Council has put in place a Tree Surgeon and Tree Consultant Framework.
