City-Wide Weed Spraying Services - Market Engagement

Hull City Council is seeking market input on its requirements for city-wide weed spraying services through a Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) process. This is an opportunity for commercial and voluntary sector organizations to understand the Council's needs, share industry insights, and help shape the approach before formal procurement. Participation in this market engagement does not guarantee a future tender opportunity and does not affect your organization's competitiveness in any subsequent procurement. The Council anticipates issuing a formal tender via single-stage open competition in September 2026. The contract is expected to run for 1 year with an optional 12-month extension. The estimated annual contract value is £150,000 (£300,000 total including extension). Organizations interested in participating should note that this PME is for information gathering and dialogue only, not a competitive bid process.
