In plain English
London Borough of Islington is looking for an arboricultural contractor to plant trees and maintain them across multiple sites over 3 years. You'll need to complete planting before March, handle watering after planting, and provide ongoing maintenance for the full contract period.
What the buyer wants
• Provide a Schedule of Rates (SOR) and total fixed cost for all planting and maintenance work across all specified sites • Complete tree planting before the end of March in the current planting season, with immediate post-planting watering • Deliver a proportionate social value offer (e.g. local employment, community benefits, environmental gains) as part of the final award • Provide full work details including location, tree stock types, species, and maintenance schedules for the 3-year commitment
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: No budget figure is given, so you must be prepared to bid on an open-ended, undefined scope; lack of proven arboricultural credentials and large project experience will likely disqualify most sole traders or very small operators.
Always check the tender documents.
