Summary of the contracting process

Walsall Council is seeking tenders for the procurement of horticulture and amenities chemicals under contract WP4079. This contract falls within the Herbicides industry category and encompasses horticultural and nursery products. The chemicals will be used by various Council teams, including Grounds Maintenance, Cemeteries, and Healthy Spaces. The delivery locations are across the Borough of Walsall, West Midlands, with postal code WS1 1TP. The procurement process is currently in the tender stage, with the tender period ending on 24 March 2025. The contract will commence on 1 May 2025 and is set to expire on 30 April 2030. The estimated contract value ranges from £250,000 to £350,000, and the procurement method is an open procedure above the threshold.

This tender offers significant business growth opportunities for SMEs capable of supplying the necessary chemicals and providing free-of-charge (FOC) services such as annual/pre-season calibration and servicing of spray equipment. Companies involved in the herbicides and horticulture sectors, particularly those with capabilities in equipment servicing, would be well-suited to compete. Interested businesses can leverage this opportunity to secure a long-term contract with Walsall Council, benefiting from recurrent procurement types and establishing a partnership with a major local authority. The requirement to provide quotations for necessary repairs adds an additional revenue stream for the successful bidder.

Notice Title

WP4079 - Horticulture and Amenities Chemicals

Notice Description

The Council wishes to procure a contract to purchase Horticulture and Amenities chemicals on demand. The chemicals' main usage will be across the Grounds Maintenance, Cemeteries and Healthy Spaces teams, but may be used in other service areas at the Council's discretion. The contract is intended to ensure an adequate supply of chemicals, backed up by appropriate stock levels so that the Council can place orders and rely on FOC deliveries within 7 calendar days, for receipt at locations across the Borough of Walsall. The successful bidder will be required to provide FOC servicing and calibration, on an annual/pre-season basis, of the Council's 23 Nomix TDC spray lances, 40 batteries and 26 chargers. Quotations will need to be provided for any subsequent repairs that become necessary, for the Council to approve at its sole discretion. NOTE: where a bidder proposes an alternative product that is not compatible with the Nomix TDC spray lance system, they will be required to provide a price (within the pricing schedule) for suitable spray equipment, of the same quantities as stated in 4.0, and FOC servicing and calibration will then apply to the proposed new spray equipment.
