This is a contract for arboricultural (tree care) services focused on tree works operations and planting activities. The buyer is looking for a contractor to carry out practical tree-related work, likely including planting new trees and general tree maintenance or removal operations.
Requirements
- No specific requirements listed in the notice — check the full tender documents for qualifications, insurance, certifications (such as Arboricultural Association membership, NPTC/LANTRA qualifications, or HSE compliance), and equipment specifications.
Key Tasks & Deliverables
- Planting trees (estimated at 13,619 trees based on 'EST DTH' notation, which likely means estimated number)
- Tree works operations including felling, pruning, or maintenance
- Site preparation and aftercare for planted trees
- Removal of any existing vegetation or obstacles as needed
How to Read This Tender
- 1The reference '13619 EST DTH' indicates this is an estimated quantity tender — the final tree count may vary, so clarify how payment is structured (lump sum, cost per tree, or day rate).
- 2Arboricultural work is often seasonal and weather-dependent — look for the contract timeline and any seasonal restrictions mentioned in the full documents.
- 3Check whether the contract specifies tree species, sizes, and planting standards (e.g. BS 3882, BS 4428), as this affects labour, materials, and specialist knowledge needed.
- 4Look for Health & Safety and Environmental requirements — tree work is high-risk, so the tender will likely require evidence of risk assessments, safe working practices, and waste disposal plans.
- 5Clarify what's included: does the price cover soil, stakes, guards, mulch, and aftercare (watering, replacement of failed trees) or just labour?
Tips for Small Businesses
- Subcontracting opportunity: If you're a small tree surgeon or landscaper without capacity for 13,000+ trees, consider partnering with a larger contractor as a subcontractor — they'll need skilled labour on the ground.
- Aftercare is often where money is made or lost — negotiate clear terms on maintenance period (typically 12-24 months) and payment for replacement of dead trees; this can be a profitable add-on.
- Bundle with other services: If you also offer grounds maintenance, grounds clearance, or environmental consulting, highlight this to increase your value — many councils want one contractor managing the full project.
