## Summary

Warrington Borough Council has successfully completed a tender process for a Weed Control Service, which falls within the services category of public procurement. The procurement, initiated on 1st May 2018, aims to enhance the upkeep of footpaths and carriageways in Warrington, located in the North West of England. The tender closed on 15th February 2018, with a total contract value of £98,000, and the service period spans from 1st May 2018 to 30th April 2020. Empire Ground Care Ltd was awarded the contract on 26th March 2018.

This opportunity in the public procurement market allows businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community and social enterprises (VCSEs), to engage in providing specialised weed control services. Organisations with experience in landscape maintenance, pest control, or environmental management would be well-positioned to benefit from similar contracts in future tender processes, emphasising the potential for growth in this sector.

## Notice

Warrington Borough Council requires a contractor to provide a routine weed control service utilising an appropriate herbicide to the Footpaths and Carriageways within the Borough of Warrington as contained within the whole of the affected area, with the option of a third application each year at the discretion of the Council
