Summary of the contracting process

The Westmorland and Furness Council has completed an award for the procurement of a framework for the hire of a range of non-operated small plant to support highway maintenance. This framework, titled "Highways Non-Operated Plant," falls under the industry category of transport equipment and auxiliary products. The procurement stage has been marked as complete, with a contract value of £1,200,000 signed on January 11, 2024. The contracting process was carried out openly using an open procedure.

Businesses that provide transport equipment and related services would find opportunities in competing for supplying non-operated small plant for highway maintenance through this framework. The Council's preference for a maximum of 2 suppliers appointed for this framework offers a chance for smaller to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to participate. The clear award criteria of 80% quality and 20% price sets a transparent basis for competing suppliers to meet the Council's requirements and potentially expand their business presence in the region.
