In plain English

Islington Council wants an arboricultural contractor to plant trees across multiple council sites and maintain them for 3 years. You'll need to supply trees, plant them before March, water them afterwards, and keep them healthy for the full 3-year period.

What the buyer wants

• Provide a detailed Schedule of Rates (SOR) and final total cost for all tree planting and maintenance work at the listed sites • Complete all planting before the end of March in the planting season, with immediate watering after planting • Maintain all trees for a full 3-year period after planting • Submit a proportionate social value offer (e.g. local jobs, community benefit, environmental impact) as part of your final bid

Requirements

What could rule a small business out: No budget is stated, so you're bidding blind, the Council may have a hidden ceiling and reject all bids above it. You must also be able to source and plant significant numbers of trees and commit to 3 years of maintenance, which rules out most one-person operations.

Always check the tender documents.
