The process, using the open procedure procurement method, was intended for weed spraying and control on footways and hard surfaces utilised for foot traffic. The contract was awarded to Languard Limited on 7 July 2026, and it was valued at £1,980,000 gross (£1,650,000 net). The contract period is set to begin on 1 August 2026 and extend through 31 July 2029, with a possible renewal for up to two additional 12-month periods. The procurement status is complete, with the contract having been awarded, and all applications were expected to be completed in six weeks per application cycle. This tender represents significant business growth opportunities, especially for companies specialising in environmental management and weed-clearance services, classified under CPV code 77312000. The open procedure allowed multiple businesses to apply, and despite awarding the project to a large supplier, the tender originally encouraged projects suitable for SMEs. It presents a potential for companies aimed at expanding their portfolios through local government contracts, particularly those operating in or near the Leeds region. Businesses with expertise in maintaining public and residential properties can greatly benefit from such contracts, which also promote frequent contact and potentially recurring service opportunities with local government entities like Leeds City Council. ## Notice Leeds City Council is seeking a suitably experienced and qualified contractor to undertake weed spraying and control services to footways and hard surfaced areas used for foot traffic within the Leeds City Council administrative boundary. Works will be on behalf of two distinctive service areas - 1) publicly maintainable highways and surfaces street features managed by the council's Highway Network Management team and 2) various types of footpaths, ginnels, drying areas and hard areas within communal spaces around housing estates, community precincts and sheltered housing complexes managed by Housing Leeds and local Tenant Management Organisations (TMOs), or their successors, who are responsible for management of council housing stock. Each complete city wide application must not take any longer than six weeks to compete. ### Planning Information Please complete the Citywide Weed Control Preliminary Market Engagement form published in the Jaggaer system ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/063755-2026 | | Notice type | UK6 - Contract Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Planning, Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 7 Jul 2026 | | Submission deadline | 27 May 2026 | | Future notice date | 20 Apr 2026 | | Award date | 6 Jul 2026 | | Contract period | 31 Jul 2026 - 31 Jul 2029 | | Recurrence | 2030-01-06 | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £1,650,000 | | Lots value | £1,650,000 | | Awards value | £1,650,000 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | LEEDS CITY COUNCIL | | Locality | LEEDS | | Post town | Leeds | | Postcode | LS1 1UR | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE4 West Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE42 Leeds | | Local authority | Leeds | | Electoral ward | Little London & Woodhouse | | Westminster constituency | Leeds Central and Headingley | | Delivery location | TLE42 Leeds | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | LANGUARD | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 77 - Agricultural, forestry, horticultural, aquacultural and apicultural services ### Codes - 77312000 - Weed-clearance services ## Release History - 7 Jul 2026 at 14:20 - Award - UK6 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/063755-2026 - 21 Apr 2026 at 09:25 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/035935-2026 - 6 Mar 2026 at 14:14 - Planning - UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/020452-2026 - 6 Mar 2026 at 13:54 - PlanningUpdate - UK3 - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/020427-2026 - 6 Mar 2026 at 13:32 - Planning - UK3 - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/020404-2026 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/063755-2026 7th July 2026 - Contract award notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/035935-2026 21st April 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/020452-2026 6th March 2026 - Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/020427-2026 6th March 2026 - Planned procurement notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/020404-2026 6th March 2026 - Planned procurement notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - https://leedscitycouncil.ukp.app.jaggaer.com/esop/ogc-host/public/leedscitycouncil/web/login.html?_ncp=1759496994633.1543165-1 - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
