    Brief

    Bristol City Council is conducting a soft market testing exercise to evaluate the feasibility of outsourcing tree and woodland maintenance services. The Council invites suppliers to provide input on service specifications, capacity, and capability to help shape a future contract. This soft market testing will gather information on delivery models, pricing, resources, and supplier interest before the Council makes a procurement decision. Suppliers who participate can express their interest in bidding for the full contract when it is formally tendered. The insights collected will directly inform the scope, requirements, and terms of the eventual Arboricultural Maintenance of Trees contract.
