## Summary

The procurement process, led by Stevenage Borough Council in collaboration with East Hertfordshire District Council, sought bids for the provision of weedspray application, divided into two distinct lots. Lot 1 targeted areas under the jurisdiction of Stevenage Borough Council, whereas Lot 2 concerned East Hertfordshire District Council, ensuring coverage of various terrains such as footpaths and central reservations. This open procedure emphasised services categorized under weed-killing and was primarily tailored for sub-central government entities within the United Kingdom, particularly in the region UKH23. The process reached the awarding stage on 23 June 2026, with contracts commencing on 7 July 2026, lasting initially for two years with an option to extend for an additional year.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for companies operating within the weed control services sector, particularly those categorised as small and medium enterprises, to secure a robust contract supported by a local government framework. The focus on sustainability and the provision of social value amplify the potential for businesses capable of demonstrating expertise in both quality and community impact to excel. Companies that can efficiently manage treatments across different terrains and provide scalable solutions will find themselves well-positioned to partake in both lots, fostering growth through stable government partnerships.
