What is being bought

Provision of Tree Planting and Community Engagement Activities Gateshead Council has set an ambitious target to plant 100,000 new trees on council land by 2030 and create 250ha of new woodland in the borough by 2050, helping contribute towards our net zero targets and mitigate and adapt to climate change. This procurement requires relevant forestry and ecological expertise, as well as willingness to work with local communities, which is essential to Gateshead Council. These new native broadleaf woodlands aim to provide value for biodiversity, amenity, and carbon sequestration, as well as being resilient to climate change and pests and diseases. Planting on local authority land, we aim to provide opportunities for meaningful community engagement. These activities should capture the imagination and interest of local people and aim to stimulate and sustain interest and involvement in the newly planted sites for years to come. The procurement involves the first winter season of planting and three subsequent years of beat ups and summer maintenance.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 77. The category anchor is Tree-maintenance services (77211500); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
