In plain English

Islington Council wants an arboricultural contractor to plant trees and maintain them across multiple council sites over 3 years. You'll need to provide a detailed price list (called a Schedule of Rates), plant trees before March this year, water them afterwards, and explain what social value your business will bring (such as local jobs or community benefit).

What the buyer wants

• Provide a detailed Schedule of Rates (SOR) with the final total cost for all tree planting and maintenance work across the listed sites • Complete all tree planting before the end of March in the current planting season, with immediate post-planting watering • Submit a proportionate social value offer explaining the community or environmental benefit your company will deliver (this can be clarified after your costs are submitted)

Requirements

What could rule a small business out: Most small tree surgeons without a track record of large-scale multi-site planting contracts or the ability to mobilise teams across multiple Islington locations will struggle; no estimated budget is published, making it hard to judge if the contract is viable for a sole trader.
