WP3934 - Cyclical Tree Inspection Service

Description

Walsall Council is looking to appoint a single provider to deliver this project. Walsall Council tree stock amounts to approximately 35,000 trees Borough wide and the law requires the local authority to have a defensible system in place to manage the risk of falling trees. As part of this process Walsall Council ensure the trees are inspected on a regular basis with a proactive management strategy that also deals with residents' issues in relation to trees. Most of Walsall Council's trees are located on highways, parks, or open spaces in and around housing areas, providing green spaces for all communities within the Borough. Tree inspections are currently undertaken by a qualified and experienced external provider who was appointed in 2022. Walsall Council is running this procurement in parallel with a recruitment process with a view to select the most appropriate outcome. This may result in this procurement process being cancelled in favour of recruitment. Additional information: It is the responsibility of the council to ensure that tree inspection procedures are in place, and that they are undertaken only by staff or others who meet the requirements of competence. The Council is looking to appoint a single provider for this service. Is a Recurrent Procurement Type? : No
