Notice Information
Notice Title
Highway Weed Control
Notice Description
The Vale of Glamorgan Council is responsible for the control of weeds within the adopted highway network, a core function that supports public safety, infrastructure integrity, and the visual amenity of the local environment. Weed growth on highways can obstruct visibility, damage surfaces, and contribute to drainage issues, making its effective management essential for maintaining a safe and accessible public realm. In delivering this service, the Council is committed to the principles of the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015, which places a statutory duty on public bodies to improve the economic, social, environmental, and cultural well-being of Wales. The Act requires public services to take a long-term view, work collaboratively, and adopt preventative and integrated approaches. Weed control operations must therefore be delivered in a way that contributes to the seven national well-being goals, including a resilient Wales, a healthier Wales, and a globally responsible Wales. This tender also aligns with the Council's Vale 2030 ethos, which sets out a vision for a sustainable, inclusive, and carbon-neutral Vale of Glamorgan. The ethos promotes innovation, environmental stewardship, and community wellbeing. As such, the Council is seeking contractors who can deliver weed control services that minimise environmental impact, reduce reliance on chemical herbicides, and support biodiversity and ecological resilience.
