Description

Walsall Council wishes to procure a suitably experienced and qualified contractor, for the inspections/surveying of its borough wide tree stock.
Walsall Council tree stock amounts to approximately 35,000 trees Borough wide and the law requires the local authority to have a defensible system in place to manage the risk of falling trees.
As part of this process Walsall Council ensure the trees are inspected on a regular basis with a proactive management strategy to deal with residents' issues in relation to trees.
The majority of trees are located on highways, parks or open spaces in and around housing areas, providing green spaces for all areas and communities in the Borough.
Tree inspections are currently undertaken by a qualified in-house resource who will soon be leaving his post. Walsall Council are running this procurement in parallel with a recruitment process with a view to select the most appropriate outcome. This may result in this procurement process being cancelled in favour of recruitment.
