Description

Winchester City Council is committed to maintaining and enhancing the district of Winchester's built and natural environment. Protecting and improving the environment for residents is important. The District's trees provide an enormous asset, making it one of the greener towns in the south. The council is responsible for c.45k trees and small woodlands that need to be managed to maximise ecological, landscape and social gain whilst being resilient to future pressures such as climate change and disease. Additionally, the council has a duty of care to manage it's trees in an effective and appropriate manner, to reduce the risk they pose to people and property. The vast majority of trees and woodlands are on publicly accessible land but some will be in confined areas in council tenant's back gardens. Following a tender exercise, the council has now appointed contractors to a framework for tree maintenance services throughout the year across the district, over a max 4-year period, commencing 1/01/25. This exercise replaced an existing successful framework ending 31/12/24. This framework will operate in a similar way and with contractors working closely with the council's in-house tree surveyors, who will identify and issue orders for the tree works via an industry standard cloud-based system.
