Protecting and improving the environment for residents is important. The district's trees provide an enormous asset, making it one of the greener towns in the south. The council is responsible for c.45k trees and small woodlands that need to be managed to maximise ecological, landscape and social gain whilst being resilient to future pressures such as climate change and disease. Additionally, the council has a duty of care to manage it's trees in an effective and appropriate manner, to reduce the risk they pose to people and property. The vast majority of trees and woodlands are on publicly accessible land but some will be in confined areas such as in council tenant's back gardens. The council are seeking to appoint contractors to a framework for tree maintenance services throughout the year across the district, over a maximum 4 year period, commencing 1/01/25. This exercise replaces an existing successful framework ending 31/12/24. This framework will operate in a similar way and with contractors working closely with the council's in-house tree surveyors, who will identify and issue orders for the tree works via an industry standard cloud-based system. This system was implemented three years ago to streamline the ordering process. Successful applicants will be required to obtain at least a Contractor's Module licence upon award and retain them throughout the contract. The council have a proactive tree inspection programme with identified risk zones. The framework will service this programme but it will not be exclusive. Works include pruning and felling, with an element of tree planting and other associated works. Additionally, there will be reactive orders following response to enquiries and events, which means a 24 hour/365 day emergency call out service is required. Orders will be spread across the Winchester District area, as shown in the map within the tender. The outcome of this procurement reflects the council's priorities to tackle the climate emergency, ensure the use of technology to improve customer access, speed up processes, improves service, reduce cost and protect and enhance the environment.
