UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council is seeking a supplier for weed control services. The requirement covers both weed-killing and weed-clearance work, so it is relevant to businesses providing practical vegetation and weed management services rather than general grounds maintenance alone. The council is the public-sector buyer. The procurement is categorised as a service opportunity and is being treated as a single combined requirement. Work is to be delivered for the council, with the service scope defined around controlling and clearing weeds. Businesses whose offer covers both elements of the requirement are the clearest potential fit.

The procurement has reached tender: the council invited offers through an open procedure. Questions could be submitted until 2 October 2026 at 11:00, and bids were due by 9 October 2026 at 11:00. The council expected to complete its award decision by 23 October 2026. The single lot has a contract period from 1 March 2027 to 28 February 2030. Its estimated value is £660,000 excluding VAT, or £792,000 including VAT. Evaluation is based on quality at 50%, price at 40% and social value at 10%. Bids may be submitted electronically in English through the stated procurement system.

This opportunity suits specialist weed control contractors that can provide both weed-killing and weed-clearance services as one offer. It is a substantial, multi-year public-sector service requirement, making it more suitable for suppliers with the operational capacity to organise sustained delivery across the contract period than for businesses offering only occasional or small-scale treatments. The evaluation gives greater weight to quality than price, so suppliers should be able to demonstrate a credible service approach and reliable delivery arrangements. Social value also forms part of the assessment, benefiting bidders able to show wider community or social outcomes alongside the core weed control service.
