The council is seeking to establish a tree maintenance framework to carry out works across the District (as defined by the map in tender) as directed in line with the council’s annual tree programme. The council is responsible for c.45k trees and small woodlands across open and confined spaces (back gardens). The framework will be multisource with a preferred up to a maximum 6 suppliers over a 4 year period. The estimated total spend for the duration of this framework is within the range — GBP 300 000 to GBP 1,000,000 but this is not guaranteed
