Engagement process description
Please see this as notice of Market Engagement for the Tree Surveys and Maintenance project for the Bernicia Group. In the attached documents for this project you will find a draft specification and a table of the approximate breakdown of trees by each area. Our aims of this exercise are as follows:
- To give any potential interested parties exposure to what is required.
- To ask for any feedback or comments on the specification.
- An indication or estimate of the potential day rates that would be charged based on the info provided.
- Depending on the number of responses - an opportunity to feedback verbally as well (As per Procurement Act 2023 - all discussions would be recorded and shared publicly.)
Not taking part would not have any impact on a potential tender process though we would encourage anyone interested in the potential opportunity to share their input. This is purely an open Market Engagement Exercise.
Please note that this notice closes on April 8th 2025.
