Summary of the contracting process

The North Yorkshire Council has concluded the award stage of a public procurement process for the "Seasonal Vegetation Cutting Programme." This framework agreement, active from 1st April 2025 until 31st March 2029, is designed to maintain public rights of way across North Yorkshire by cutting seasonal vegetation and managing weed spraying as necessary. With an open procurement method under the Agricultural, Forestry, Horticultural, Aquacultural, and Apicultural Services category, the procurement was completed with the tender period closing on 20th February 2025. The awarded contracts have been given to three suppliers: DTMS Limited, Springbok Landscapes Limited, and Ainsty Timber Marketing Limited, with a total contract value of £300,000. The procurement process is facilitated by an open procedure, underscoring the council's commitment to transparency and inclusivity.

This tender offers substantial prospects for businesses involved in agricultural or horticultural services to engage in a long-term, steady partnership with local councils. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are especially encouraged to participate, given the suitability criteria outlined. By securing a position within this framework, businesses can ensure stable revenue streams over the four-year contract period, with potential opportunities for additional work, such as a second cut if required. This procurement not only supports local infrastructure but also fosters business growth and collaboration within the region.
