Summary of the contracting process

Walsall Metropolitan Borough Council has completed the procurement process for the contract titled "WP4079 - Horticulture and Amenities Chemicals," within the industry category of herbicides. The contract involves supplying chemicals for use across multiple council sectors, including Grounds Maintenance and Cemeteries, to locations in the Borough of Walsall, UKG38 region. The process, classified under an open procedure, advanced from tendering to the awarding stage, concluding with the contract signing on 10 April 2025. The contract, valued at £350,000, covers a period from 1 May 2025 to 30 April 2028, with potential renewal up to 2030, ensuring consistent service delivery to the council.

This contract provides significant opportunities for companies specialising in chemical production and supply, particularly those offering innovative solutions compatible with existing council equipment. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs), such as Nomix Enviro Ltd, which won the bid, demonstrate the viability of participation for smaller businesses in regional tenders. Suppliers capable of quick delivery, supporting infrastructure for equipment servicing and maintenance, and flexibility with product offerings are best positioned to compete in such contracts. This opportunity aligns with suppliers looking to expand their regional footprint and foster long-term municipal partnerships.
