UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Council of the City of Wakefield procured essential summer vegetation-management works at 37 flood storage sites. The requirement supports the upkeep and safe operation of sites used for flood prevention, including maintenance of flood-defence infrastructure. It is categorised as works, covering flood-prevention works and flood-defences maintenance works. The buyer is the Council of the City of Wakefield, based in Wakefield. Delivery covers the 37 sites associated with this requirement. The procurement was organised as a single requirement rather than separate service categories, and the work concerns practical site maintenance rather than consultancy, design or general grounds maintenance. Businesses with operational capability in vegetation clearance and maintenance around flood-storage or flood-defence assets would be directly relevant to this type of work.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded. The contract was signed on 23 June 2026 and runs from 23 July 2026 to 1 September 2026. Its gross value is £40,000. The selected supplier is EBSFORD ENVIRONMENTAL LTD. The procedure was described as below threshold, with the specific method recorded as unknown. There was one completed lot covering the full requirement. The published outcome identifies an active award and an active contract. The award covers the flood-prevention and flood-defence maintenance works associated with the 37 sites. No award cancellation or contract termination is recorded. The outcome indicates that the Council selected a supplier for a short, defined programme of seasonal vegetation-management works.

This award shows demand from Wakefield Council for specialist, short-duration maintenance of flood-storage and flood-defence sites. A credible future competitor would need to organise vegetation-management work safely across multiple operational sites, understand the constraints of flood-prevention assets, and deliver consistent site maintenance within a concentrated seasonal programme. Relevant experience would include vegetation clearance, grounds or estate maintenance in infrastructure environments, and work near water-management or flood-defence installations. The successful supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise based in Castleford, indicating that businesses of this scale can be relevant to the requirement. Firms able to demonstrate reliable field teams, appropriate equipment, logistical coordination and practical flood-site experience would be well placed when this buyer next procures comparable work.
