NCC City Services Green Team - Approved List Of Contractors 2021 - 2025

Newport City Council is proud to own and maintain in excess of 2 million trees which includes over 185 hectares of mixed deciduous woodland. This includes various different Client areas where trees are present: eg Highways, Education, Parks, Woodlands and the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal etc. Newport City Council takes the care and responsibility of its trees very seriously to ensure that they are as healthy and safe for as long as possible as per the formerly adopted Newport City Council 2015 Tree Policy, supporting this is a raft of National and Local Polices to safeguard healthy tree stock. All Council tree stock is inspected by qualified and experienced Tree Consultants on a cyclical basis and subsequently the practical tree work is tendered out. Technical diagnostic work is also undertaken to trees to determine the most appropriate course of action on trees of sufficient value. Exacting standards of professionalism both by Tree Consultants and Tree Surgeons are expected and required, with the latter carrying out a broad spectrum of physical tree work – some of which is highly specialised in nature. In order to deliver this Service, an Approved List of Contractors is being implemented via consultation with Strategic Procurement and it will be complied and maintained in accordance with Newport City Council standing orders. This is the Round Two opportunity in order for any additional interested suppliers to apply to join the existing Approved List. Appointed suppliers, unless applying for an additional Lot, need not re-apply. NB: The Approved List was originally to be for the period 2020 to 2023. Due to the Covid Pandemic the evaluation was not completed until early 2021, and therefore the Approved List will now be for the period 1 April 2021 to 31 March 2025.
