## Summary

Northumberland County Council, headquartered in Morpeth, has concluded the award phase of its procurement process for tender reference NCC1172 (Supplementary) regarding verge grass cutting services. This procurement, classified under the CPV code 45233229, involves maintenance of highway verges within the Northumberland highway network and was conducted through an open procedure. The tender, initially published on 7 February 2025, reached the completion stage with an active award to "Mather and Son" on 14 April 2025. The contract, valued at £98,707.15, will run from 1 May 2025 to 1 May 2026, covering strategic locations including Berwick and Islandshire, Glendale, Seahouses, and Belford in the North East of the United Kingdom.

This procurement opportunity presents a significant chance for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the services sector, specifically those skilled in verge maintenance work. With the Northumberland County Council's encouragement of SME participation, businesses with the competency to manage both strategic and non-strategic highway verges could find substantial growth opportunities. This awarded tender reflects an unmet demand from 2024, providing a viable commercial prospect for enterprises eager to expand their footprint in public sector contracts within this geographic domain.

## Notice

The Contracting Authority is seeking to appoint a Contractor, or Contractors, for the maintenance of strategic and non-strategic highway verges within the Northumberland County Council highway network. The areas to be covered are divided into 3 individual lots: Lot 1 - Berwick and Islandshire Lot 2 - Glendale Lot 3 - Seahouses and Belford The Contracting Authority was unable to allocate lots 1, 2 and 3 within the previous tender completed in 2024 under reference NCC1172 and is therefore re-tendering lots 1, 2 and 3 under reference NCC1172 (Supplementary) to align the contracts for Lots 1-3 with the contracts awarded for Lots 4-13.
