In plain English

Islington Council is looking for an arboricultural contractor to plant trees and maintain them for 3 years across multiple council sites. You'll need to plant trees before March, water them after planting, and keep them maintained throughout the contract period.

What the buyer wants

• Provide a Schedule of Rates (SOR) and total cost for all tree planting and maintenance work across listed sites • Complete all planting before March of the planting season with immediate post-planting watering • Maintain trees for the full 3-year period as specified • Submit a proportionate social value offer (details to be clarified after costs are submitted) explaining community/environmental benefits

Requirements

What could rule a small business out: Most small sole traders without formal arboricultural qualifications and established tree supply chains will struggle; this is a 3-year commitment requiring upfront knowledge of all planting locations, tree species, and maintenance schedules before bidding.
