This framework encompasses six lots corresponding to specific District Council boundaries—Allerdale, Barrow, Carlisle, Copeland, Eden, and South Lakeland—with sub-lots for different categories of plant equipment. The tender was published on 19th May 2021 and will remain open for submissions until 21st June 2021. The total value of the framework is estimated at £10 million, with the contract period running from 9th August 2021 to 8th August 2025.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for growth for businesses in the construction and civil engineering sectors, particularly those involved in the hire of machinery and vehicles. Suppliers of construction equipment, including those who provide wagons, tractor loaders, excavators, and road sweepers, are encouraged to participate. The Council is particularly interested in expressions of interest from diverse business communities, including ethnic minorities and disabled individuals, as well as small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). This helps promote inclusivity in the procurement process while attracting firms that are capable of delivering the required services effectively.
