Patches
One firm per trade, per patch.
We cannot put two arborists in Cornwall on the same list and act for both — the Procurement Act does not allow it and the work would not survive it. So each trade in each patch is licensed once. When it is taken it is closed, and the map says so.
How to read this
Choose your trade. Patches you can take are drawn on plain ground. Hatched patches are already held. Stippled patches are ones your own selection has closed — pick Cornwall and you will see Plymouth go, because the same work reaches both and we will not sell it twice.
Which patches close which is not a judgement. It is counted, across every notice in the register.
Your selection
Nothing selected yet.
Nothing is reserved by asking. We will come back with what is held in your patch, what ends inside two years, and whether we think you would win any of it.
Every patch we sell

Outside the South West we have not started. If your county is not here, tell us which it is — the order we expand in is decided by who asks.
