Summary of the contracting process

Hull City Council is procuring city-wide weed spraying services across Hull. The work covers the application of weed-killing treatments in locations throughout the city, for the council as the public-sector buyer. This is a services contract rather than a supply or construction opportunity. The requirement is relevant to organisations that provide commercial vegetation control, grounds maintenance or specialist weed-treatment services and can deliver work across an urban area. The procurement is a single lot covering the full requirement. The council’s description indicates that suppliers must undertake weed spraying services within Hull in accordance with the tender documentation and complete all required submission documents for their bids to be considered.

The process has reached tender: Hull City Council invited offers through an open, one-stage procedure. The deadline for enquiries was 25 September 2026 at 11:00 UTC, and the tender submission deadline is 5 October 2026 at 11:00 UTC. The estimated contract period is 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2028, with an option, at the council’s discretion and subject to satisfactory performance, to extend by one further 12-month period, up to 31 March 2029. The estimated value is £300,000 excluding VAT and £360,000 including VAT; the description also gives an approximate value of £150,000 per year. Award evaluation is 60% technical quality and 40% price. The expected award decision date is 22 December 2026.

This opportunity suits specialist weed-spraying, vegetation-control and grounds-maintenance businesses with the equipment, trained staff and operational capacity to deliver treatment work across Hull. Small and medium-sized enterprises are identified as suitable suppliers. Bidders need to demonstrate both economic standing and technical capability, with the detailed requirements set out in the tender documents. The evaluation gives greater weight to technical quality than to price, so businesses able to provide a clear, robust service method and evidence of reliable delivery should be well placed to compete. The council requires every tender document to be completed as instructed; incomplete bids will be eliminated from further consideration. English-language electronic submission is permitted.
