UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sunderland City Council, a sub-central government authority in the UK, is currently in the tender stage of procuring goods under the title "Provision of Residual and Non-Residual Herbicides." The tender encompasses the supply of herbicides and related application equipment through an open competition procurement method, primarily targeting the agricultural and chemicals industry (CPV code 24453000). This framework agreement, intended for a sole supplier, will run from 8th June 2025 to 7th June 2027. The procurement process invites electronic submissions by the 20th of May 2025, with an enquiry period closing on the 14th of May 2025. The framework's value is estimated at £60,000 gross.

This opportunity presents significant potential for business growth, especially for small and medium enterprises capable of supplying herbicides and application equipment. As the council will issue purchase orders as needed, firms with competitive pricing and high-quality products are well-suited to benefit from this arrangement. The evaluation criteria include quality on a pass/fail basis and a price-based assessment, offering maximum marks to the bidder with the lowest overall price. Successful tenderers will leverage this framework to expand their reach within the Sunderland region and strengthen their foothold in the public sector market.
