UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Warrington Borough Council procured weed-control treatment across highways, footways and other specified public areas in Warrington. The service uses herbicides to control and eradicate weed growth. This is a grounds-maintenance and weed-killing service requirement, rather than a supply of herbicides alone.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to ARBORFORCE GROUP LTD. Warrington Borough Council used a below-threshold direct award without competition. The contract was signed on 27 February 2026 and runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027, with one optional 12-month extension, potentially extending the period to 31 March 2028. The recorded contract value is £37,786.42, with a gross value of £45,343.70. The procurement was for one lot. No award date or evaluation criteria are reported.

For suppliers considering this buyer’s future weed-control requirement, relevant experience would include applying herbicides to manage and eradicate weeds across highways, footways and other public areas. Credibility depends on being able to deliver this service across multiple types of public space for a council. The awarded supplier is an SME, showing that a smaller business has delivered this requirement. The contract was placed by direct award without competition, so the outcome does not reveal a competitive evaluation basis or specific qualification standards.
