UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Bridgend County Borough Council, located in the United Kingdom, is in the planning stage of a tender process for a framework contract titled "B1009 – Framework for the Provision of Invasive Non-Native Species Treatment". This procurement falls under the services category and focuses on treatment and management of invasive non-native plants across several council departments. The project is part of a pre-market engagement, where interested parties are invited to complete a questionnaire by the 19th of June 2026. The framework is anticipated to start on 1st November 2026 and could potentially run for up to four years, subject to annual renewals. Key dates to note include the deadlines to request and submit the questionnaire, which are 12th and 19th June 2026 respectively, and the future notice date set for 20th July 2026.

This procurement initiative presents a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in environmental management services, such as weed-clearance and tree-maintenance, to expand their portfolio within the UK public sector. Particularly, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that offer these services could leverage this opportunity to secure a long-term contract. The framework allows for a collaborative approach between the council and service providers to deliver essential environmental management services, and successful bidders will find themselves well positioned to influence environmental sustainability efforts within the Bridgend County area.
