There are over 2500 miles of public highway infrastructure within Oxfordshire, much of which is tree lined. To enable the County Council to undertake remedial tree works (that form part of its statutory responsibilities as both the Local Highways Authority and a property owner/manager) in a competent and safe manner, the County Council requires a number of specialist and non-specialist contractors to assist with the delivery of tree works that are identified by the County Council’s Tree Team. The County Council's requirements are separated into two Lots: - Lot 1 Specialist Arboricultural Works - Lot 2 Non-specialist Arboricultural Works Service Providers are invited to submit tenders for the provision of the requirement described above. The contract is for an initial period of 2 years with an option for the Council to extend for up to a maximum of 2 years in aggregate. The start date for the contract is envisaged as 28 November 2016. ## CPV classification Tree pruning and hedge trimming Source Contracts Finder (UK) [View official notice](https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/0483ac26-adca-11e6-9901-0019b9f3037b) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
