The UK government is seeking an arboricultural services contractor to carry out tree works operations on an ad hoc basis over a 2-month period from December 2025 to February 2026. The work involves tree maintenance, removal, and related operations, with tasks assigned as needed rather than as one fixed project.
Requirements
- Arboricultural qualifications or demonstrated expertise in tree works
- Health and safety compliance (likely CSCS card or equivalent for tree surgery work)
- Public liability insurance
- Ability to work to ad hoc schedule with short notice deployment
- Equipment and workforce capable of professional tree operations
- Check full tender documents for specific certifications (e.g. Lantra, NPTC, or equivalent arboricultural qualifications)
Key Tasks & Deliverables
- Carry out tree felling, pruning, and removal operations as instructed
- Provide qualified arborists and tree surgeons for on-demand work
- Dispose of or process tree waste appropriately
- Undertake tree maintenance and health assessment tasks
- Respond to urgent or emergency tree work requests within agreed timeframes
- Complete risk assessments and method statements for each job
How to Read This Tender
- 1Ad hoc contracts mean you'll be called on as needed — don't expect steady daily work; clarify response times and notice periods required in the tender
- 2Check what geographical area this covers; tree works contracts often have travel time and mileage expectations that affect your costs
- 3Look for the contract value range (the '13620 EST' figure is likely the estimated budget or contract reference) — understand whether this is a fixed-fee arrangement or hourly/daily rates
- 4Review the scheduling window (Dec 2025–Feb 2026 is winter — understand if weather clauses or seasonal constraints apply)
- 5Search the full tender documents for: performance metrics (response time, work quality standards), environmental requirements, and whether site access/permits are your responsibility or theirs
Tips for Small Businesses
- Consider subcontracting or partnering with a larger arboricultural firm if you lack full qualifications or equipment — many councils accept consortia bids and you could manage the commercial side
- Build contingency into your pricing for winter weather delays and site variability — ad hoc work means less predictability, so quote carefully to cover standby costs
- Emphasize any social value angle (e.g. apprenticeships, local employment, community tree planting) in your proposal — UK government contracts increasingly score this; tree works provide good opportunities to show environmental or skills benefits
