This procurement falls within the industry category of general public services and is classified under the CPV scheme with the code 77000000. The procurement process followed an open procedure, reflecting transparency and competitive bidding. The survey uses i-Tree eco software, scheduled for Summer 2025, and the contract was awarded to Forest Research, the supplier based in Farnham, with the contract amounting to £68,420. The project delivery location is exclusively within the region designated as UKM75, covering the City of Edinburgh Council. Although the tender process was initiated earlier, the contract was finalised and signed on 28th July 2025, marking the award stage as complete. This project provides significant opportunities for businesses involved in environmental science, data analysis, and urban forestry management, particularly those with expertise in ecosystem services such as carbon capture and climate change mitigation. Companies specialising in environmental software applications, ecological surveys, and public service delivery are well-positioned to benefit from similar contracts in the future. The procurement requirements emphasise prompt payment, living wage alignment, and environmental management measures, reflecting the council's commitment to fostering sustainable practices and fair labour conditions. With community benefits included in the project scope, businesses contributing to social and economic development through enhanced urban green spaces will find this a potentially rewarding engagement. ## Notice The City of Edinburgh Council require an i-Tree Eco Survey using, the i-tree eco software application to be undertaken in Summer 2025 ### Lot Information Lot 1 The survey will evaluate progress in reaching the million trees target.
