In plain English

London Borough of Islington is looking for an arboricultural contractor to plant trees and maintain them for 3 years across multiple sites in the borough. You'll need to provide a detailed price breakdown (SOR), plant trees before March, water them after planting, and explain what social value your company will deliver.

What the buyer wants

• Provide a Statement of Requirements (SOR) with a detailed cost breakdown for all tree planting and maintenance work across all listed sites • Complete all tree planting before the end of March in the current planting season, including watering immediately after planting • Commit to 3 years of post-planting maintenance on all trees planted • Outline your social value offer (this can be clarified later, but you'll need to commit to it before award)

Requirements

What could rule a small business out: This contract requires submitting a detailed cost estimate (SOR) with pricing for multiple unspecified sites, which means you'll need access to the site list and detailed scope documents to bid properly, if you can't get these documents quickly, you won't be able to submit a competitive bid. Most small tree surgeons will struggle with the 3-year maintenance commitment and the volume implied unless they already have a team or subcontractors in place.
