## Summary

West Lothian Council procured arboricultural and forestry services for high- and medium-priority work on its council-owned assets. The requirement covers tree and land management activities, including specialist arboricultural works and forestry works, classified under CPV 77200000. Delivery is for council assets in West Lothian, with the buying organisation based at the West Lothian Civic Centre in Livingston. The procurement was led by West Lothian Council, which also acts as a central purchasing body. This is a services opportunity rather than a supply of equipment or construction works. It is relevant to tree surgery, arboricultural, forestry and land-management contractors able to carry out priority works across a local-authority asset portfolio and to meet the operational requirements of public-sector tree and forestry maintenance.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to TD Tree & Land Services Ltd. The contract was awarded as a single requirement and the contract was signed on 10 August 2026. Its value is £160,000. The procedure was a limited award without prior publication of a call for competition, made directly under the City of Edinburgh Council Framework Agreement for Forestry and Arboriculture Services, reference CT1296. The procurement was treated as outside the scope of the relevant directive. One bid was recorded, from an SME, and it was submitted electronically. The contract is active. No options are included. The award demonstrates that West Lothian Council used an existing framework route rather than an open competition for this requirement.

This procurement is useful market evidence for arboricultural and forestry contractors targeting West Lothian Council. The selected supplier was an SME, showing that the requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist business rather than only by a large national contractor. A credible future competitor would need practical capacity for both high- and medium-priority work, covering arboricultural and forestry tasks across council assets, with enough operational resilience to respond to different levels of priority. Access to, or a route into, the relevant forestry and arboriculture framework would be commercially important because this award was made directly through that framework. Contractors should therefore be able to demonstrate dependable public-sector delivery, suitable tree and land-management capability, and the capacity to service a local-authority asset portfolio.
