Summary of the contracting process

The buying authority, Westmorland and Furness Council, has initiated a procurement process titled "Supply of Operated Plant" with an emphasis on hiring industrial vehicles with drivers. This procurement, classified under the services category, is aimed at supporting an in-house delivery model for highway maintenance across regions including South Lakeland (inc. Barrow) and Eden within the UKD12 area. The procurement process used is an open procedure, and recently concluded its award stage as of 3rd November 2025. The tender began with the planning and tender phases starting earlier in the year with a bid submission deadline by 17th April 2025. The framework now established is set for a duration of 24 months with options for renewal, to actively contribute to the economic and social regeneration of the locality.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses that specialise in plant hire and highway maintenance services, offering a framework valued at approximately £6,000,000 across multiple lots, with awards already granted to diverse suppliers. Businesses with expertise in operating heavy machinery, road maintenance, and construction are ideally positioned to compete in such a framework. Companies focusing on cost and quality, particularly those able to actively support local economic growth and regeneration, may find an advantageous position. SMEs are highly encouraged to participate, as evidenced by the successful awards to several such businesses, highlighting the framework as a fertile ground for business expansion and community involvement.
