Summary of the contracting process

Newcastle City Council, operating as a sub-central government authority in the UK, initiated a procurement process aimed at contracting citywide weedkilling services under the tender title "009093 - Citywide Weedkilling." This award notice pertains to a contract that was previously undertaken by COMPLETE WEED CONTROL LIMITED, an SME based in County Durham, for the provision of citywide weedkilling to maintain clean, safe, and green neighbourhoods in Newcastle upon Tyne. The contract's timeline began on 5th June 2025 and concluded on 31st May 2026, with a total final value of £205,200 including VAT. However, the contract was terminated upon completion as of 31st May 2026. The procurement method employed was a direct award below the threshold, conducted without competition, focusing on the service category of weed-killing services.

This procurement process offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in environmental services, particularly those with expertise in weed management and urban landscape maintenance. The contract's scope, centred around providing comprehensive weedkilling services, aligns well with companies focusing on environmental sustainability and urban upkeep. SMEs with a background in municipal services, horticultural management, or similar fields could find themselves well-suited to participate in similar future tenders issued by local government authorities like Newcastle City Council, potentially facilitating business growth through public sector contracts that demand high standards of service delivery.
