Opportunity overview
Tree Survey Midland Metro Limited (MML), part of the West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA), is seeking to identify experienced suppliers capable of delivering a comprehensive tree inspection and mapping survey along the segregated corridor of the West Midlands Metro light rail network.

For each tree, provide: • Risk evaluation to the network or nearby infrastructure • Physically tag established trees to support future identification and inspection. • Create a digital mapping record of all trees using GIS or equivalent format. Supply MML with a comprehensive, structured electronic dataset clearly identifying: • Location (coordinates or referencing system) • Tree ID/tag reference • Species, condition, risk notes • Photographic records (if available or recommended) This information will support our asset register and inform future vegetation and safety management strategies.
