The work consists of using appropriate weed-killing methods either repellant chemicals, mechanical weeding or a suitable organic alternative and to apply those methods to all the roads identified by Newquay Town Council for the purposes of reducing the number of weeds on said roads. Where access is restricted by vehicles or other obstacles, the contractor must ensure these areas are treated by other means i.e. knapsack/manual weeding or returning to site on alternative date. Where areas cannot be accessed the contractor must contact Newquay Town Council immediately to report what areas were not covered and why. Chemicals used must be environmentally friendly and approved by DEFRA. Newquay Town Council will consider within its evaluation contractors which use alternatives to Glyphosate. The schedule of roads is outlined in a separate document along with associated maps. The total length of roads under this contract is 71.04 km (note including both sides of the road would total 142.08 km). Where spraying is used this must take place on dry days throughout the summer until all the spraying has been completed. 1st Spray must commence during May/June with a 2nd Spray to take place in August/September. If mechanical or organic weed control is used the this should be undertaken in the same months. Further treatment may be required on particular roads and this should be taken into consideration. The Contractor and Newquay Town Council will agree any additions in writing prior to works commencing. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/fec2b3fa-54bf-421f-ae72-d0789ee94bbb | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 23 Jun 2023 | | Submission deadline | 3 Apr 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 22 Jun 2023 | | Contract period | 22 Jun 2023 - 31 Mar 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £7,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £6,840 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NEWQUAY TOWN COUNCIL | | Locality | NEWQUAY | | Post town | Truro | | Postcode | TR7 1AF | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK3 Cornwall and Isles of Scilly | | ITL 3 | TLK30 Cornwall and Isles of Scilly | | Local authority | Cornwall | | Electoral ward | Newquay Central & Pentire | | Westminster constituency | St Austell and Newquay | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | COMPLETE WEED CONTROL (SW | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 77 - Agricultural, forestry, horticultural, aquacultural and apicultural services ### Codes - 77312000 - Weed-clearance services ## Release History - 23 Jun 2023 at 13:36 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/fec2b3fa-54bf-421f-ae72-d0789ee94bbb - 8 Mar 2023 at 12:03 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c4612769-81b9-4caf-9cea-0fd536875bf7 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/fec2b3fa-54bf-421f-ae72-d0789ee94bbb 23rd June 2023 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c4612769-81b9-4caf-9cea-0fd536875bf7 8th March 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/6c74e6c3-23ed-452b-b413-8a450ad280f3 ## Notice URLs - http://www.newquay.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
