## Summary

Peterborough City Council has awarded a contract for "Weed Spraying Services" within its boundaries, under an open procedure. The procurement, with a gross value of £600,000, was awarded on 26th March 2026 to Empire Ground care Ltd. The contract period begins on 1st May 2026 and is set to end on 31st March 2029, with the possibility of extension for two additional 12-month periods. This public authority, identified as sub-central government, is focused on maintaining hard surfaces across Peterborough by timely application of herbicides from April to October. Located in the UKH11 region, the council relies on competitive bidding for service enhancement.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs), as evidenced by the final stage bids entirely consisting of SMEs. The service involves the management of open spaces, ideal for businesses specialising in environmental management, landscaping, or grounds maintenance services. Eligible companies can benefit from entering long-term partnerships with public authorities, enhancing visibility and opening avenues for further contracts within the public service sector. The competitive edge leans towards firms providing both quality and cost-effectiveness, as these were the main criteria in the evaluation process (60% quality and 40% price). Businesses engaging in weed-killing services, particularly those equipped to uphold environmental standards, stand to gain considerably from participating in such tenders.
