Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Hillingdon procured borough-wide weed-control services, including targeted glyphosate application using knapsack equipment and other approved, alternative or innovative treatment methods. The work covers grass and weed growth across the highway network, Council housing estates, tree boxes and surfaced Scheduled Public Rights of Way. The supplier is expected to support the council’s aim of reducing chemical use over time while maintaining effective treatment. This is a public-sector environmental and grounds-maintenance service delivered within Hillingdon, London. The relevant classification is weed-clearance services (CPV 77312000). The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and includes optional re-treatment where required, as well as possible trials of alternative herbicides subject to council instruction.

The procurement is complete following an open procedure. One lot was awarded to Complete Weed Control Trading Limited on 14 July 2026. The award value was £440,619 gross, and the active contract was signed on 3 August 2026 for £881,238 gross. The contract period runs from 3 August 2026 to 31 July 2029, with an option to extend to 31 July 2031. The tender closing deadline was 1 April 2026 at 17:00, enquiries closed on 25 March 2026 at 17:00, and the award period ended on 1 June 2026. Evaluation was split equally between price and quality, each weighted at 50%. Economic and technical selection criteria applied. Three final-stage bids were received, all from SMEs.

This award demonstrates established demand from Hillingdon for borough-scale weed-control operations across highways, housing estates, tree boxes and public rights of way. A credible future competitor would need qualified operational staff, safe and effective herbicide application capability, suitable knapsack equipment, and the capacity to organise repeated treatment rounds across a whole borough. The requirement also favours suppliers able to reduce reliance on chemicals, assess and trial approved alternative or innovative techniques, and provide optional re-treatment when treatment effectiveness requires it. Experience delivering measurable weed control in public or similarly extensive environments would support credibility. Businesses should also be prepared to evidence both technical delivery capability and economic capacity, while offering a competitive balance of price and service quality.
