Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council is in the planning stage of its procurement process for the "PAN3435 - Highway and Housing Land Weed Spraying Services." This tender falls under the services industry category and is specifically related to weed-killing services, targeting locations within the UKF21 region, United Kingdom. Pre-market engagement activities are currently scheduled, with interested parties required to submit their engagement questionnaires by Monday, 13 October 2025, at 12:00 noon. The council is not yet calling for competition at this stage, and the engagement is aimed at gathering valuable insights from the market prior to the formal tender process, which anticipates further notices by 3 November 2025.

This procurement offers significant business growth opportunities for firms specialising in weed-killing services, particularly those proficient in handling contracts for local government bodies. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are noted for suitability, making this a promising opportunity for such businesses to gain a foothold in public sector contracts and potentially secure future renewals until 2031. Companies experienced in municipal landscaping and weed control are ideally suited to compete, given the contract's emphasis on maintaining council-owned highways and housing land.
