Summary of the contracting process

South Ayrshire Council has concluded the contracting process for the provision of a street spraying weed control service, with the contract awarded to Complete Weed Control (Scotland South East) Limited. The procurement, conducted through an open procedure, targeted the UKM94 region, specifically Ayr, reflecting its status as a regional local authority under the COFOG classification for general public services. Having commenced with tender submissions due by 15 April 2025, the contract was signed on 29 July 2025 for a value of 560,490.6 GBP. The tender process involved electronic submissions managed via Public Tenders Scotland, reflecting South Ayrshire Council's commitment to efficient procurement practices.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for service providers in the weed control sector, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) focused on delivering high-quality, cost-effective solutions. The awarded contract, valued significantly, underscores the growth potential for businesses capable of fulfilling similar service demands in regional public service markets. Companies familiar with the demands of municipal maintenance, especially those offering innovative weed control solutions, would find themselves well-positioned to succeed in such contracts, potentially benefiting from future contract tenders anticipated around January 2030.
