How to win: Landscape Services Tree Management

About this contract

Braintree District Council (the Authority), through the Essex Procurement Partnership (EPP ), is seeking to engage with the market and obtain expressions of interest ahead of the procurement of Tree Management. The contract will cover the provision of arboricultural (tree management) services across the Authority's estate, primarily parks and open spaces, corporate land (including leisure centres, business parks and other public amenity areas) and, where instructed, occasional highway verges and other sites under the Authority's control. The service will be required to support the Authority's duty of care, manage risk to the public and property, and maintain the health and sustainability of the tree stock. It is anticipated that this procurement will be carried out as an Open Tender Process with a possible view to create an internal (Authority only) framework appointing between 3 to 5 suppliers. A final decision regarding the route to market will be made after market engagement has been completed.
