## Summary

The City of Edinburgh Council is seeking bids for the "Forestry and Arboriculture Services Framework Agreement" within the public services industry, focusing on tree works across various local council regions in Scotland, including Edinburgh, East Lothian, Midlothian, Fife, West Lothian, and the Scottish Borders. The procurement process is currently in the award stage, having concluded on 2 September 2019. This open procedure allows multiple suppliers to be appointed for a framework lasting four years, with a tender deadline that has recently passed on 24 May 2019.
