The procurement process is at the Tender stage, with submissions closing on 18th April 2017. The contracted work will commence on 8th May 2017 and run for one year, concluding on 7th May 2018. The contract encompasses the application of environmentally approved weed control chemicals along 71.04 km of roadways, aiming to maintain clear and safe public spaces. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in environmental services, particularly those experienced in landscaping or pest control. Companies that focus on sustainable practices and possess expertise in using DEFRA-approved chemicals will be particularly well-suited to compete. With a minimum contract value of £6,500 and estimated total costs reaching £8,000, this project may significantly benefit small and medium-sized enterprises seeking to expand their portfolio in local government contracts. ## Notice 1. Term of the Contract The Weed Spraying Contract (WSC) is for a period of one year commencing on 08 May 2017 - 07 May 2018. 2. Location of work within the Parish The enclosed maps show the network of roads within the Parish requiring weed spraying. There is also a Weed Spraying Schedule available displaying a summary of the roads requiring this treatment under the contract. 3. Description of the work The work consists of using appropriate weed-killing and repellant chemicals and to apply them to all the roads (kerbs) and inner pavements identified by Newquay Town Council for the purposes of reducing the number of weeds on said roads and pavements. Chemicals used must be environmentally friendly and approved by DEFRA. 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. 4. Timing of work Spraying 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.
