Summary of the contracting process

Aberdeen City Council has completed a public procurement process for the "Road & Pavement Weed Spraying" project, which falls under the services industry category. This project, which involves the spraying of herbicides on adopted roads and pavements in Aberdeen, took place in the region of Aberdeen, with key dates including the contract signing on June 1, 2021, and the tender process initiated earlier on February 18, 2021. The procurement was conducted through an open procedure, with a total budget of £323,671.90. The awarded contract has now been fulfilled by the supplier R&D Spray Services Ltd.

This contract presents opportunities for businesses engaged in environmental services, particularly those specialising in herbicide application and vegetation management. Suppliers with expertise in public space maintenance, horticulture, or pest control services would be well-positioned to compete for similar contracts in the future. The tendering process emphasised quality and price, making it crucial for competing businesses to demonstrate both competitive pricing and superior service quality to secure future contracts with local authorities.
