The procurement is at the tender stage, with the deadline for submissions set for 11 January 2019. The project location is within the West Midlands, UK, covering all 1,450 kilometres of highways in the Walsall area, with treatments scheduled to begin in April 2019 and continuing through the contract's duration until March 2021. This open procedure for procurement allows participation below the threshold requirement. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in horticultural and environmental management services, particularly those equipped to perform weed control using both machinery and handheld methods. Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) are well-positioned to compete for this contract, particularly those with experience in highway maintenance and compliance with local regulatory standards. Companies that have a proven track record in similar maintenance services will find this to be a valuable opportunity to expand their portfolio and contribute to local infrastructure upkeep. ## Notice The Walsall Council area has circa 1450 kilometres of highways which are weed treated on an annual basis. The treatment is applicable to the whole width of the footpath including wall and fence footings, back edges, kerbs, channels, paved pedestrian areas, islands, furniture, walkways, passageways and back lanes. Spraying shall also include the full width of block paved and set paved carriageways including back lanes. An 'assignment' is defined as the complete weed treatment of all of Walsall's Highways. The majority of the works can be carried out by some form of ride on machine but there are areas i.e. alleyways, high density housing and town centres which will require treatment using hand held/carried applicators. The treatment generally commences during May and ends in June depending on weather conditions, as the treatment must not be applied during wet weather conditions. A second treatment may be requested at a later date if required, at the Council's discretion.
