Multi Party Framework Agreement Supply and Delivery of Christmas Trees Lot 1 Nordman Fir (9m and 13m) Lot 2 Nordman Fir (2.5m, 5m and 9.5m-10m)

Tender description

Dublin City Council proposes to establish two 4-year multi party framework agreements for the supply and delivery supply of Christmas trees (2022 - 2026). Dublin City Council currently requires approximately 150 trees per annum across the two lots, however DCC makes no guarantee of the volume of supplies to be contracted under the framework agreement Requirements under the framework will be met through mini competitions where each member of the Framework will be issued a Supplementary Invitation to Tender detailing the scope of requirements, the award criteria and the closing date & time for submissions. It is emphasised, Dublin City Council makes no guarantee of the volume of supplies to be sourced under the framework agreement. Dublin City Council reserves the right to operate outside of the framework agreement at its discretion; particularly should it become apparent that doing so would offer greater value for money. The description and indicative number of trees required are set out beneath (all figures are for guidance purposes only).
