Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham City Council procured weed-spraying treatments for its adopted highway network in Nottingham, with delivery in England. The work is classified as highway-related construction work and was called off from the CPU 6252 Provision of Weed Spraying Services Framework. The requirement concerns practical vegetation and weed-control treatment of roads and other highway assets under the council’s responsibility. It is a works contract rather than a supply-only or consultancy requirement. Businesses operating in specialist weed control, grounds maintenance, highways maintenance or related environmental services may find the subject matter relevant, particularly where they can safely plan and carry out treatments across a public highway network. The council is based at Loxley House, Station Street, Nottingham.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 14 August 2026 to Japanese Knotweed Ltd. The award value is £29,683.45. The contract runs from 17 August 2026 to 17 February 2027. The requirement was called off from the CPU 6252 weed-spraying services framework, using a procurement method described as “Other”. The tender submission deadline was 10 August 2026 at 12:00. Nottingham City Council is the buyer. The awarded supplier is Japanese Knotweed Ltd, a single supplier based in Manchester. The published requirement was identified as a works procurement, with an estimated tender value of £29,683.45. The council indicated that the opportunity was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for specialist weed-spraying services on an adopted highway network, delivered through a public-sector framework call-off. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need practical expertise in weed treatment and the operational capacity to work safely around roads and other highway assets. Relevant businesses are likely to include specialist invasive-plant or vegetation-control contractors, highways maintenance providers and grounds-maintenance firms with suitable equipment, trained operatives and robust traffic and site-safety arrangements. The council’s stated suitability for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises indicates that smaller organisations can be relevant where they can demonstrate dependable delivery and adequate resources. Experience working for local authorities or on public highways would strengthen a supplier’s position when this requirement is next assessed.
