The work consists of using appropriate weed-killing methods either repellant chemicals, mechanical weeding or a suitable organic alternative and to apply those methods to all the roads identified by Newquay Town Council for the purposes of reducing the number of weeds on said roads. Where access is restricted by vehicles or other obstacles, the contractor must ensure these areas are treated by other means i.e. knapsack/manual weeding or returning to site on alternative date. Where areas cannot be accessed the contractor must contact Newquay Town Council immediately to report what areas were not covered and why. Chemicals used must be environmentally friendly and approved by DEFRA. Newquay Town Council will consider within its evaluation contractors which use alternatives to Glyphosate. The schedule of roads is outlined in a separate document along with associated maps. The total length of roads under this contract is 71.04 km (note including both sides of the road would total 142.08 km). ## CPV classification Weed-clearance services Source Contracts Finder (UK) [View official notice ](https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/9d7ab0b0-73ff-4f2d-beb0-a8cff332f171) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
