The procurement was open to competitive bidding and conducted under the provisions of the Procurement Act 2023 using an Open Procedure. This contract pertains to the delivery of borough-wide weed control services on public highways and Hackney-owned housing estates. The procedure was open to all suitable contractors, and the contract was awarded to Weedfree Limited. The contract, valued at £369,600, was active from 1st September 2025 and includes the application of Glyphosate by knapsack with prescribed environmental safeguards. Key dates included a tender announcement in June 2025 and contract signing on 31st August 2025. The project's geographical focus is within the Hackney region, United Kingdom (UKI41), targeting the services industry sector. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in ecological services, particularly those capable of adhering to rigorous environmental standards while providing weed control solutions. The open procedure allowed smaller enterprises like Weedfree Limited, classified as a small to medium-sized enterprise (SME), to partake in competitive tendering, thus demonstrating an accessible market for smaller contenders. The framework supports the growth of firms with capabilities in plant maintenance, including weed-killing and clearance, especially those eager to innovate with chemical reduction strategies in line with Hackney's sustainability goals. As a result, businesses with proven expertise in environmental consultancy and operations focusing on compliance with local government environmental mandates would be well-suited to engage in future tenders of this nature, offering avenues for expanding into sustainable public service contracts. ## Notice The London Borough of Hackney has appointed a qualified contractor to provide borough-wide weed control services on public highways and Hackney-owned housing estates (excluding green spaces).
