Summary of the contracting process

Middlesbrough Council procured Trustee Amenity Weedkiller Glyphosate for use in its operational activities. This is a goods requirement for an approved glyphosate-based amenity weedkiller, with the product specification required to meet applicable regulatory approval standards. Delivery is associated with Middlesbrough and the surrounding Tees Valley area. The requirement is focused on supplying the specified product rather than providing a wider grounds-maintenance, landscaping or weed-control service. Businesses active in supplying amenity chemicals, agricultural and horticultural products, or regulated vegetation-management materials would be the closest commercial comparators. The buyer is a sub-central public authority, and the procurement was structured as a single requirement rather than a multi-lot service or works contract.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to ORIGIN AMENITY SOLUTIONS LIMITED. Middlesbrough Council used a below-threshold direct award without competition because the specification was specific, suitable suppliers were limited, and the selected supplier was considered able to meet the technical, compliance and operational requirements within the required timescales. The contract was signed on 15 July 2026 and runs from 21 July 2026 to 21 July 2031. Its value is £41,666.66 excluding VAT, or £50,000 including VAT. The awarded requirement is one lot, and the contract is active. The evaluation and selection rationale centred on regulatory approval, technical compliance, reliable supply, product equivalence and delivery timescales rather than a competitive price-and-quality tender.

This award confirms demand from Middlesbrough Council for a consistent supply of regulated amenity glyphosate weedkiller, rather than for general grounds-maintenance labour. A credible future competitor would need access to the specified product or an equivalent product that satisfies the same regulatory approval standards, together with robust technical and compliance evidence. Proven reliability in supplying public-sector or operational users would be important, as would the capacity to fulfil orders within required timescales and maintain continuity of supply. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate that their products meet a tightly defined specification and that their distribution arrangements can serve Middlesbrough and the surrounding Tees Valley area. Businesses with established amenity, horticultural or agricultural product supply capabilities are best placed.
