Decision

To award contract Lots
A (urban tree works) and D (tree planting) to Gristwood & Toms Ltd, and;
To award contract Lots
B (urban tree works) and C (woodlands) to John O’Connor
Ltd.
 
Reason:
To enable the Council
to carry out tree maintenance operations at agreed rates for three
years, with a potential two year contract extension period. This
will allow the Trees & Woodlands team to progress works
effectively in relation to their current financial
position.
 
Commissioning process:
The submission of
documentation and a schedule of rates (SOR) was chosen, as this
approach realises better value for money than framework
agreements.
