Summary of the contracting process

Newcastle City Council undertook a public procurement process for the "Citywide Weedkilling" contract, focusing on the application of herbicide to the highways and footways in Newcastle Upon Tyne. The procurement fell under the services industry category with the specific CPV classification of "Weed-killing services" (ID: 77312100). The open procedure method was employed, indicating it was above the financial threshold. The tender phase ended on 24th February 2023, with the contract running from 3rd April 2023 to 1st April 2025. The project is to be performed in postcode area NE1, with the council acting as the buying organisation, under the contact of Joshua Ormston from Newcastle City Council's Procurement Team. The contract was awarded to Complete Weed Control (North-East) on 3rd April 2023, with the award notice published on 6th September 2023, reflecting a value of £400,000.

The procurement presents significant business growth opportunities for companies specialising in environmental management and weed control services. Particularly, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) would find this tender ideal due to the council's stated suitability for SMEs, although it does not similarly favour voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Engaging in such public contracts could enhance business visibility, lead to the establishment of a reputable profile within public sector projects, and secure steady operational contracts. Companies in the weed-killing and environmental service sectors, particularly with expertise in urban infrastructure maintenance, stand to benefit from participation in this tender.
