In plain English
Newcastle-under-Lyme Council needs an arboriculture team to respond urgently out of hours (after 4pm weekdays, 24/7 weekends and bank holidays) to deal with fallen, damaged or failed trees across the borough. They want the team on site within one hour of the call, with all equipment and vehicles included.
What the buyer wants
• Deploy a qualified arboriculture team with all labour, equipment, plant and vehicles • Respond to emergency tree failures, storm damage and woodland incidents • Arrive on site within one hour, available out of hours (4pm+ weekdays, full 24hrs weekends/bank holidays)
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: This contract requires 24/7 emergency availability and a fully trained, equipped arboriculture team ready to deploy at short notice. Most sole traders or small teams without multiple crews and emergency call-out systems will struggle to meet the one-hour response time commitment reliably.
