The UK government is looking to hire an arboricultural contractor to carry out tree works and maintenance operations across two phases of work (P1 and P2). This is for professional tree surgery, maintenance, and related services — you'll need expertise in safe tree felling, pruning, removal, and arboricultural best practice.
Requirements
- No specific requirements listed in the notice — check the full tender documents.
- You must review the full specification on adamprocure.co.uk for qualifications, certifications (likely NPTC or Lantra), insurance requirements, and health & safety standards.
- Expect to need public liability insurance and employers' liability insurance.
- May require accreditation under relevant forestry or arboricultural standards (e.g. FSC, FEMA, or equivalent).
Key Tasks & Deliverables
- Execute tree works operations across two phases (P1 and P2) — exact scope depends on full tender documents.
- Likely includes tree felling, crown reduction, pruning, stump removal, or similar arboricultural operations.
- Site management, waste removal, and reinstatement of work areas.
- Compliance with environmental protection and wildlife legislation during operations.
- Safety management and risk assessments for all tree work activities.
How to Read This Tender
- 1Download the full tender documents from adamprocure.co.uk immediately — the notice gives minimal detail; the specification will outline scope, location, tree types, and exact deliverables for P1 and P2.
- 2Look for the 'Method Statement' section in the documents — this is where the buyer explains exactly what they want done and how it should be done; this dictates your pricing and timescale.
- 3Check for environmental or ecological constraints — tree works often require surveys for protected species (bats, nesting birds) and may need licenses from local authorities or the Environment Agency.
- 4Note the 'Phase 1' and 'Phase 2' split — clarify whether this is sequential work, different locations, or optional; P2 may only happen if P1 is completed successfully.
- 5Search for 'access restrictions', 'working hours', and 'weather dependencies' — these affect your cost and schedule significantly.
Tips for Small Businesses
- If you're not a large arboricultural firm, consider a consortium with a qualified tree surgeon or subcontracting to one — the buyer wants professional expertise, and partnering adds credibility and spreads risk.
- Social value scoring likely matters in government contracts — highlight any apprenticeships, local recruitment, environmental best practice (e.g. chipping and composting waste on-site), or community benefits in your bid.
- Budget for environmental compliance costs — surveys for protected species, ecology reports, or habitat mitigation can add 10-20% to tree work costs; build this into your quote upfront.
