How to win: Supply of Tree Stock and Sundries

About this contract

Derbyshire County Council's vision to achieve the 1 million tree project by 2030 is to have a main supplier within this contract to meet the demand. DCC will be aiming to plant an estimated 50,000 trees each year by working closely with the successful supplier to ensure that both parties are prepared for future years supplies. This contract may be utilised by other council departments not directly involved in the million trees initiative e.g. highways, schools or reclamation schemes.
