Who won: Tree Planting Community Based Initiative

About this contract

The Council is procuring a comprehensive community tree planting and aftercare service. The scope of the service includes: • Community engagement and education on tree planting, aftercare, and tree health monitoring • Preparation of planting sites • Delivery of supervised community planting events • Provision of all tools, equipment, and materials (including tree stock, canes, and guards) • Post-planting aftercare and maintenance visits • Completion of written risk assessments for all activities • Recording and reporting of tree numbers, species, and planting locations Soft market testing undertaken indicated that only one company could deliver a complete and integrated package for this initiative. Procuring from multiple sources would increase costs and difficulties coordinating activities and reduce accountability. Living Woods have an established track record in this area and have experience in delivering similar programmes and have fostered strong relationships with schools and local communities. This is grant funding received via DEFRA and Tees Community Forest, the latter also having a partnership with the Tree Equity for Hartlepool project.
