Lot Information

It is proposed that the contractor will deliver three applications of MAFF registered herbicide or other approved chemical as appropriate to Rochdale's adopted highways as specified above. Application should take place as directed by Rochdale Borough Council's Authorised Officer but typically during spring, summer and autumn, at timings which coincide with optimum weed growth.

Renewal: This contract has the provision for 24 months extension in aggregate up to 12 May 2029 (if utilised)
