This initiative is classified under the general public services industry category, specifically focusing on services required for arboriculture across North Ayrshire, excluding Arran and the Isle of Cumbrae. The current stage of the procurement process is planning, with the official tender notice anticipated to be published on 20th August 2026. The planned framework aims to engage a three-man team, working under the Council's Arboricultural Officer, to provide both routine and rapid-response tree work within the region. This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses operating in the arboricultural industry, particularly those capable of rapid response and experienced in tree maintenance services such as felling, removal, and pruning. Companies with a skilled foreman and the ability to comply with BS3998:2010 standards for risk control and urgent scheduling will find themselves well-positioned to compete. The contract value is estimated at £300,000, providing a significant growth avenue for firms ready to meet the Council's requirements and collaborate closely with the NAC Streetscene department. ## Notice North Ayrshire Council require a three man team, working under the direction of the Council's Arboricultural Officer to provide planned and ad-hoc tree work. In addition NAC requires the successful company to provide rapid response to sudden tree failures, including evenings and weekends. ### Lot Information Lot 1 NAC Streetscene department require a three-man team to work under direction from the Council's Arboricultural Officer, in association with a dedicated / appointed contractor team leader to carry out felling, removal/disposal, crown lifting/thinning/cleaning/reduction, girdle/removal of ivy and pruning of trees within land owned or administered within NAC (excluding Arran and the Isle of Cumbrae).
