This report requests authority to establish a Framework Agreement for the provision of Arboricultural services, as required by Contract Standing Order No 88. This report summarises the process undertaken in tendering these requirements and, following the evaluation of the tenders, recommends which supplier should be appointed to the Framework Agreement. It is anticipated that the favorable prices obtained via this process mean that even with the £75k budget reduction forecast for next year, similar volumes of work will be undertaken.
