What is being bought

Published requirement description

Keys Academies Trust is seeking quotations from suitably qualified suppliers for urgent tree works on the Nova Primary Academy site.

A large poplar tree has failed at the root plate and is now leaning into a neighbouring tree. Due to the immediate risk, a price is requested for the safe removal of two poplar trees.

In the same area, there are a further three to four poplar trees with identified health and safety concerns. These trees are located close to areas accessed by members of the public and adjacent to the A47, which forms part of the high-speed road network. A quotation is therefore also requested for a full inspection of these trees, together with recommendations and any necessary remedial works to mitigate risk.

Site visits can be arranged to view the area and the work required by emailing [email protected].

The quotation should include proposed timescales, any traffic management requirements, and confirmation of relevant qualifications and insurance.

Published award criteria (1)
  • Price
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 100 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 10 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
