What is being bought

Published requirement description

The WMCA are seeking to commission consultants to complete a research project to scope the demand, supply and potential delivery options relating to a tree nursery / tree nurseries in the West Midlands.

The contract requires a series of outputs that will develop WMCA’s understanding of how the region can continue to meet the demand for trees. It is assumed that the final output will be a business case, but if after Stage 1 this is not deemed appropriate then the project will close.
