Classified under "Weed-clearance services," this procurement falls within the services category, with an estimated value of £100,000 to £150,000. The tender process has commenced, with a submission deadline set for 27th February 2026. All parties interested in participating must engage via the Proactis Portal, with an enquiry period open until 20th February 2026. This procurement aligns with Welsh devolved regulations and is guided by the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015. This tender represents a significant business opportunity, particularly for SMEs and VCSEs, due to the focus on sustainable weed control methods that prioritise environmental and societal well-being. With an emphasis on reducing chemical use and enhancing biodiversity, businesses with expertise in innovative, eco-friendly weed control solutions that operate within the regulatory frameworks of the UK stand to benefit. The competitive selection will be based on a combination of cost (60%) and quality (40%), presenting an excellent opportunity for businesses that can provide cost-effective yet high-quality service solutions. ## Notice The Vale of Glamorgan Council is responsible for the control of weeds within the adopted highway network, a core function that supports public safety, infrastructure integrity, and the visual amenity of the local environment. Weed growth on highways can obstruct visibility, damage surfaces, and contribute to drainage issues, making its effective management essential for maintaining a safe and accessible public realm. In delivering this service, the Council is committed to the principles of the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015, which places a statutory duty on public bodies to improve the economic, social, environmental, and cultural well-being of Wales. The Act requires public services to take a long-term view, work collaboratively, and adopt preventative and integrated approaches. Weed control operations must therefore be delivered in a way that contributes to the seven national well-being goals, including a resilient Wales, a healthier Wales, and a globally responsible Wales. This tender also aligns with the Council's Vale 2030 ethos, which sets out a vision for a sustainable, inclusive, and carbon-neutral Vale of Glamorgan. The ethos promotes innovation, environmental stewardship, and community wellbeing. As such, the Council is seeking contractors who can deliver weed control services that minimise environmental impact, reduce reliance on chemical herbicides, and support biodiversity and ecological resilience. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/009330-2026 | | Notice type | UK4 - Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Below threshold - open competition | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 3 Feb 2026 | | Submission deadline | 27 Feb 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2026 - 1 Jan 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £100,000 | | Lots value | £100,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | VALE OF GLAMORGAN COUNCIL | | Locality | BARRY | | Post town | Cardiff | | Postcode | CF63 4RU | | Country | Wales | | ITL 1 | TLL Wales | | ITL 2 | TLL5 South East Wales | | ITL 3 | TLL52 Cardiff and Vale of Glamorgan | | Local authority | Vale of Glamorgan | | Electoral ward | Castleland | | Westminster constituency | Vale of Glamorgan | | Delivery location | TLL22 Cardiff and Vale of Glamorgan | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 77 - Agricultural, forestry, horticultural, aquacultural and apicultural services ### Codes - 77312000 - Weed-clearance services ## Release History - 3 Feb 2026 at 10:37 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/009330-2026 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/009330-2026 3rd February 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://supplierlive.proactisp2p.com/account/login The tender is for Weed Control/Spraying services at various locations throughout the Vale of Glamorgan area and the tender will be completely through the Proactis Portal, and all further documents are available there.
