In plain English
Islington Council wants a tree surgeon or arboricultural contractor to plant trees across multiple sites and look after them for 3 years, including watering and maintenance. You'll need to quote a total cost for all the work and explain what social value you'll deliver (e.g. local jobs, community benefits).
What the buyer wants
• Provide a Schedule of Rates (SOR) and final total price for all tree planting and 3-year post-planting maintenance across listed sites • Plant trees before March this year, water them immediately after planting, and maintain them for the full 3-year term • Submit a social value proposal outlining community or environmental benefits you'll deliver (this can be outline now, detailed later)
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: This is a 3-year commitment with tight timescales (planting before March); if you don't have arboricultural expertise, tree stock suppliers, or capacity to manage multiple sites over three years, you'll struggle to win.
Always check the tender documents.
