This is a contract for winter tree pollarding work scheduled for 2026. The contract appears to be for tree maintenance services, likely involving cutting back tree branches during the winter dormant season. However, the description provided is extremely minimal and lacks essential detail about location, scope, budget, and specific requirements.
Requirements
- No specific requirements listed in the notice — check the full tender documents.
- The contract reference 'DPS1 1382' suggests this may be part of a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) framework — you may need existing DPS accreditation or the ability to join one.
- Tree work may require arboriculture qualifications (check full documents for specifics).
Key Tasks & Deliverables
- Winter pollarding of trees (exact number, species, and locations not specified in notice provided)
- Branch cutting and removal during winter 2026
- Specific deliverables and completion dates not detailed in notice
How to Read This Tender
- 1This notice is a stub — the real detail is in the full tender document on the Contracts Finder website. Download the full specification before deciding to bid.
- 2'DPS' means Dynamic Purchasing System: this is a pre-qualified supplier list. Check if you need to be on the DPS already or if this is open to new suppliers.
- 3Look for: total number of trees, locations (postcode/region), tree types, access requirements, waste disposal arrangements, and timeline for completion.
- 4Winter work contracts often have tight weather-related deadlines — check if there are penalty clauses for delays caused by snow/ice.
- 5Arboriculture work usually requires proof of public liability insurance (£5-10 million typical) and possibly NPTC or similar qualifications — confirm in full documents.
Tips for Small Businesses
- If this is a DPS contract and you're not on the framework yet, check if you can apply to join. DPS frameworks often allow new suppliers to apply quarterly — it's worth the effort as you gain access to multiple contracts.
- Tree pollarding is labour-intensive with clear seasonal timing — consider whether you have the right equipment (chippers, lifts/access equipment) or if partnering with a specialist subcontractor makes financial sense.
- Check the full tender for 'social value' scoring — councils often award points for local employment, apprenticeships, or environmental impact. This can be a differentiator for small teams.
