UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Brighton and Hove City Council, located at Hove Town Hall, Norton Road, Hove, United Kingdom, embarked on a procurement process for "Hard Surfaces Weed Management 2026" within the horticultural services industry. The process utilised an open procurement method, recognising the requirement below the threshold through an open competition. The tender was under the award stage as of early 2026 but was cancelled on 6 May 2026 without awarding the contract, following an earlier tender stage that had set a tender period ending on 19 March 2026. The project had a projected value of £150,000 exclusive of VAT, covering weed treatment services for one year within Brighton and Hove.

This tender provided significant opportunities for businesses specialising in horticultural or environmental management services. The procurement’s focus on weed treatment services for public spaces presented a valuable growth opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) equipped with the necessary expertise. Participating businesses would have needed to offer competitive pricing and high-quality service proposals, as the evaluation criteria weighted price at 60% and quality at 40%. Although the opportunity was cancelled, similar future procurements by Brighton and Hove City Council could be highly beneficial for industry players looking to expand their service reach in the public sector.
